I just signed off on the title for a 98 wrangler SE, i’m going to try something different for the door panel crack on mine but now I know exactly what paint to get to address the faded door panels! Super helpful video!
Congratulations Joshua! Jeeps are an absolute blast and they'll go anywhere you want them to. They're only going up in value as well so thats always a plus. Have fun with it.
There's a spray paint called "adhesion promoter" which is basically a clear that helps your topcoat bond to the plastic panels. Overall great job and good vid!
Did the paint adhere to the panel good? I was to change some panels I have like you did. I know you had a few touch ups you had to do after installing the passenger side which gave the impression the paint easily peels/chips off.
There are a couple of chips for sure. Mostly because I was in a hurry to get it put back on and didn't have as much time to cure. For a aerosol can paint it did a great job. If you want it perfect your going to want to go to a upholstery shop. I'm not a paint professional. But there is this stuff called hardener which helps paint last longer. You would mix that in with paint then reduce it down. With out a spray gun you won't be able to do that. Plus it would be really expensive for the materials. If you use the aerosol can, worse comes to worse you can scuff it down and spray it again. Hope that helps!
I have a 2004 Jeep Wrangler TJ with black interior and I want to change it up so I sent my seats out to reupholster with the new JL saddle leather and I think I’m going to paint my doors like this
Nice job! Those look great. What kind of paint did you use and how did you choose the color? Maybe I missed it in the video, typing this about half way through it lol
There are two different colors. One is a spice and the other it more of a tan. I should’ve gone with the spice color but the tan matched up good as well. The paint code is in the video. Forgive me I forget where in the video but it is in there. Thank you for watching!
Not everyone in the comment section with tan interior wanting black interior 😂 I woulda traded with u down to the last part I mean even the sun visors 😂
Did you find that the SEM palomino was the better match for the lighter tan/camel interior? I've seen the SEM camel paint but heard it matches more of the spice/darker tan TJs. I have a Sahara with the tan interior and just want to revive it since it's sun faded and stained and your video is the only example of the palomino SEM paint that I've seen.
My interior is more of a spice color. The paint I used matches up fine but is more of a tan than a spice. If yours is more of a tan use the paint I used.
@@timkitz1675 I believe mine is more of a tan than a spice, but not entirely positive on that because I don't have anything to really compare it to haha. It's definitely a lighter tan in my opinion though, so I might go with the palomino paint color you used. Thanks so much!
@@claudetteg7815 HI!!! so did you re painted the doors? i also have a sahara 98 and wanted to re paint the panels, want them to look as original as possible. can you help me out with your experience and what paint you used?
@@maurocamilli93 Hello! I recently did! But unfortunately I had to use the SEM camel because I had issues trying to get SEM palomino. The camel is definitely like a dark spice and darker than the sahara tan. I didn't get to test SEM palomino but it seems like the better match from photos I've seen
Yea, one can was about right for one door panel. There is a couple other paint variations. I would do a couple of test samples before you buy the paint. Just to be safe.

@@jeffstewart4162 door panels are a hint lighter than the dash. We used a test panel at the auto body shop and I was happy with it. It could have been a tad darker. But it matches well. Not sure if that answers your question?

Just a summer project for me, should keep me busy and yes haha shouldn’t end up costing me much if at all as a bonus
Crown, Mopar, Amazon all carry the pins and they are cheap. You do an excellent job!!!!! I need to repaint my door panels. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! I'll have to check that out. Have a great day.

Great advice for people to take note of. Thank you for the comment. Have a good one!
That's exactly what he used AND told us about. Did you even watch the video?
@@beachteesh38 I guess I must've missed it.
I just rewatched the vid. What time does he mention and use it?
Nice job! My TJ definitely needs some color love in the future and I wasn’t really sure how to go about it. This’ll be a great guide. Thanks!
Thank you! Hope everything goes smooth for you.
Mu panels are pealing - do I need to strip them down beforehand? or just alcohol and repaint?

Absolutely! It will look great. Let me know if you post a video when it's finished. I'd like to see how it came out.

Nice job, I never thought about doing to my YJ but now I may do it.
Next time you want to fix that door Crack, melt with solder iron and melt in the back side metal .10-.32" wire. Then fill with an epoxy or bondo.
That was not a crack, it is a mold indentation, I think you will find it on all TJ door panels of the era

I would’ve gladly traded your black panels for my tan ones 😭
To late now lol.
There were two different tan colors for these years, spice and camel.

Did you find one can was enough?
Yea, one can was about right for one door panel. There is a couple other paint variations. I would do a couple of test samples before you buy the paint. Just to be safe.
I know the video can always be deceiving, but that Palomino color looks like a pretty good match
Muy buen trabajo, saludos desde México.
Shut up.
what paint did you use

I used a satin clear over it and that solved the chipping problem. Did the same to my center console.
@@timkitz1675 I was told that Camel was closer to the “spice” color. Is this lighter?

@@timkitz1675 yep it does thank you sir
did it peel off yet give a lil time it will
It’s hanging in just fine! Thank you for your concern.
Nice job
Thank you!
Just put a cool skull sticker over the crack
Lol. Great idea!
No primer?
I was thinking the same thing. The guy told me to bath it in rubbing alcohol and paint it. Worked good for me without it.
@@timkitz1675 well done!
@@BerniesBastelBude Thank you!
I would have swapped with you. I have tan and want black 😂
Yea the panels were pretty faded. And they would off had to be repainted anyways due to the cracks. That would have been convenient though.
