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 ! 😊
If you don't mind me asking, where can I get some good olive drab paint for a couple of old army helmets, and Jerry can? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have gone multiple places trying to color match, and all the paints are not correct color or have too much shine. Thanks, and God bless
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?
