In this video I will show you the steps from primer to finished sierra blue paint. It has been a while but the body tub and all other parts are finally finished.
I really appreciate your bodywork and paint philosophy for Jeeps. They are supposed to have spot welds, dings and wrinkles. Nice thorough explanation of your process.
thanks for watching. this jeep body has modern paint on it that will hold up great but still looks like a factory paint job. Spot welds should always show thru on a restored jeep.
So i see by comments you have some work lined up, that's great. So hopefylly you're past the bad spot you were in. You do great work you should be busy. Thanks for sharing.
Great job. It's really cool to see the color of this jeep done. I'm about a month away from having mine painted the same original color. It's taken about a year to restore everything, but it will be worth it when he gets done. The jeep is a 1970 cj5 Renegade 1. Going to have all the original strips put back on also. I will send you some pics when it's done. Thanks for the video.
This is one of my favorite colors as well and you will love it when you jeep is done and wearing factory stripes. Would love to see photos, metalshaper@comcast.net Brian
I would love to be painting the snowblower jeep right now but still have a lot to do with the hard top, doors, and Wisconsin engine that is going to run the snowblower. Will show the paint process as soon as it starts. Brian
It was a lot of work, beginning with cutting out the old rusted metal and massaging the entire body tub into what you see now. The results are very satisfying .
A lovely job there Brian. You are absolutely correct on the paint finish on these, they really do not look right with a totally spot weld free finish, they were only painted to prevent corrosion, and that is the best way to present them now, I think the problem is getting as bad a finish as they were originally, once all the fittings are on this body it will look like it just left the factory, you tend to look too critically at a body when it is on the tressels, another great job out the door !
Good to hear from you Chris, you always know exactly what a jeep should look like in the various stages of restoration. Now if I can only get other people to understand ......... This jeep has a single stage urethane paint that will hold up great for many years and not fade or deteriorate in the sunlight. I only did the body restoration on this jeep but the customer sent me photos of the chassis and it looks like it is coming along nicely. Maybe when it is done I will get some photos that I can post. Brian
Many thanks. It was a combination between myself restoring and painting the body and a very good customer who understands the process, time, and money that work like this takes.
Well done Brian. Appreciate the painting video and all your tips. Would be great to see your process and tips for assembling & aligning the front clip pieces.
Yes, it is much nicer than a factory paint job but still looks correct with all the spot welds showing and a few areas of wear and tear that we left instead of filling over. Makes for a perfect looking body tub.
It came out great and looks much better in person than in the video but I think you can still see the depth of the paint and the high gloss reflection in the hood and fenders.
Hey Brian very nice paintjob some guys can't even get that quality paint job in a downdraft booth enjoying the videos as always hey how can I get in contact with you I need some 600 weight oil
High build primer gets put on in as many coats as you need. 3 coats usually does it for my projects. then sand. If you need more coats, lay them on and sand again. Keep at it until the surface is as smooth as you want it. Then, a shot of epoxy sealer over entire surface. then, finally the finish coat.
Hi Brian I am thinking of purchasing a 54 m170 for a restoration. I was wondering what your thoughts are on parts availability , and whether it is a decent vehicle overall to rebuild? It appears most parts are general MB, but the fuel tank and windshield frame as well as seats are supposedly extremely difficult to acquire. Any knowledge would be helpful. Thanks!
the m170's are great restoration projects as they were produced in low numbers and they seem to hold their value very well. Yes there are a few parts that are hard to find but if the vehicle you are looking at is complete then I would buy it. Let me know how it goes and if you end up buying it. you can contact me anytime at metalshaper@comcast.net Brian
Seems like the early CJ5's are the most abundant these days. Snowblower jeep, Sierra Blue 64 CJ5, and I have a trencher and diesel CJ5 in the waiting for restoration. A great workhorse jeep. Hope yours is in running and useful condition. Brian
Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. It looks great in the video and even better in person. Depth of gloss is like looking in a mirror. I am super happy with the results.

Thanks for taking the time to show how you do your work. I have learned a lot from your vids, mechanical and fabrication also.
Thank you, that is the reason I started this channel, hopefully to take the mystery out of fabrication and auto restoration.
Very nice. Looking forward to seeing that snowblower Jeep paint go down!

It came out really nice. It's a lot of work to get to that point but it sure is fun to stand back and enjoy the results. Nicely completed.

@@metalshaperJeep can't wait to see the finished product keep up the good work.👍
Fantastic job .
Thanks Louis, it was a lot of work but the results are worth it.
I know you said this wasn’t going to be a show vehicle, but still I’ll bet that’s a lot nicer paint job than it had from the factory!
Yes, it is much nicer than a factory paint job but still looks correct with all the spot welds showing and a few areas of wear and tear that we left instead of filling over. Makes for a perfect looking body tub.
great job also thanks for the videos your putting out
Thanks. Keep watching more videos on the way.
Good work

Love this Blue man 😁
I think the blue is great as well. Hope the customer feels the same way about it when he sees it in person when picking it up.
Looks great!
appreciate you watching.
Wish I had spray guns like you do I have been using rattle can for my truck but it takes alot of paint as to not look like rattle can
Turned out great!
It came out great and looks much better in person than in the video but I think you can still see the depth of the paint and the high gloss reflection in the hood and fenders.
I need a glove box lock for a 1960 CJ5. Do you have any available? Beautiful work by the way.
very nice
Thanks for your continued support of my channel.
Brian
It's beautiful! How do you keep bugs from getting stuck in the paint? It came out great.
It came out great. After spraying the building is closed up, and fans shut off, no bugs in the building to land in the paint.
Thank you for sharing this.
Your welcome, many thanks for watching and supporting my growing channel.

When you spray the high build primer do you and between coats or just go over the prior coat? Excellent video as always!
High build primer gets put on in as many coats as you need. 3 coats usually does it for my projects. then sand. If you need more coats, lay them on and sand again. Keep at it until the surface is as smooth as you want it. Then, a shot of epoxy sealer over entire surface. then, finally the finish coat.
I can’t wait to try that! Thank you!
Nice job! What PPE/mask do you use for spraying?
I use 3m respirators most of the time. I change them out often and always make sure to breath clean air.
