Ive been a car builder my whole life , i also learned to do paint and autobody as well. Thats been my side job for myself , moving on ,i enjoyed your video and taking your time, addressing and correcting paint issues. I think the jeep is turning out great , and you'll get a lot of attention in public from it . Most important ,enjoy what your doing and keep up the great work ! 😊
How much paint and primer did it take to do this project. I'm literally doing this same project, so these videos have been super helpful. I am also using the Ron Fitzpatrick paint.
Good luck with your project! This took 2 gallons of paint and 2 gallons of primer which includes the inside/outside of the arctic top. Per request from the owner I didn’t do the full underside, just wheel wells and outside frame rails. I think you should be good with two gallons if you have to do the full frame, body etc. Paint shoots great, but I wasn’t in love with the primer. Maybe I didn’t have settings adjusted correctly? Too much air? Undecided if I’d shoot that red oxide again.
Thanks a lot! No - hardener wasn’t used in the original paint, and wasn’t for this job. I just used paint and reducer. I did use hardener in a previous WWII Jeep project. Besides reducing chips, it helped deter staining of the paint from places that get touched a lot. It does however bring the sheen up slightly the more you add, so one thing to consider.

It looks great. That sure was a lot of work. Nice job. Did they use hardener in the original WW2 paint?
