No I am actually removing all the undercoating that was on there. The under is what caused most of my rust issues, anywhere I found bubbled undercoating I found rust. The truck has always been a Colorado truck so I am not sure why the original owner got it undercoated.

Cab is primed and sanded. It should get painted tomorrow. Today I have the unsavory task of seam sealing the cab. Once the cab is done I can tuck it away and work on my nemesis known as the bed.

The cab is finally painted , the fenders are already painted too, they are in our spare bedroom

nice ... Looks great!

did you go with a single stage paint or planning to clear coat it? If I were ever going to do another daily driver, I think I'd definitely go single stage. I was okay getting the base to lay nicely, it was the clear that bit me touch ups are much easier as well.

same purpose my spare room served and still serves. guest are relegated to the couch until the jeep is done !

I’m using single stage (urethane primer/ acrylic enamel). I was looking for a factory style finish, not trying to create a show truck. Besides this was Enough of a PITA.

Luckily we have multiple spare bedrooms, our kids are grown and gone.

I have the bed almost ready to prime and paint. Then I have the hood and doors. The doors need all new rubber so they will be last since the wing windows look to be a challenge

Bed got finished sanding today, should get it into primer tomorrow depending on how I feel. Been on vacation for 2 weeks and working on the Jeep non-stop, I’m a little burned out but would like to have the bed finished and back on soon.

Bed is in Primer.

Bed is painted. Got the front fenders installed, all front lights installed.

Just about done, hood is painted as well. Working on doors this week

Looking good! Nice job on the paint, it looks like it laid down pretty nicely!

It laid down well in most areas, one bedside could use some more wet sanding. Trying to decide how much more I want to do. This isn't a show quality truck, it was built for a fun truck.

Looks good!

Smart. I broke through on clear a few times wet sanding on sharp edges. Had to re-clear. I learned a few lessons. If you're happy, stop. Consider single stage paint for a daily driver

@LaredoMatt It is Single stage Acrylic Enamel, I tried to replicate the factory finish

Looking good!

Nutting like SS for being able to touch up sand throughs and trail rash. Unless it's metallic.

almost done

Looks awesome, great job!

Got my new door panels so I can use my old skins on nice plastic door cards.

She came out nice! That gloss white is clean, especially on those wheels.
