Ok all renewed. Let's take it for a spin. Yesterday's lineup
shiney 7 is like salt and pepper, has to be in everything.
Today I got it all rubbed back lightly and under primer/surfacer
Before I sprayed though I found this intriguing inscription on the firewall. There's WA on the left which may have been something to do with Western Australia :dunno:

Right so the colour as it appears in these pix will prolly freak some folks out but in the flesh I LOVE IT!! Turned out way more military than I thought it would but hey it's cool. The low sheen in the first two pics is what I originally wanted but got scared off by stories of staining from bird shiz and tree sap. Enter the gloss clear coat idea. Anyway you be the judge. Remember the light and iPhone don't do the colour justice, makes it "greener" than it is
Later with clear coat
Then later a higher power decided to chime in and check out my handy work
I love the way the rays catch the airborne carcinogens

Looks awesome! I've always liked the green and tan combo on any Jeep... Still consider trying it out on the Scrambler from time to time.... Maybe some day!

Got in for a while this morning to see what I have out in the sun. Looking close you'll see some small runs in the clear and a couple of spots light on for colour. Not sure what I'm gunna do about those. The runs will rub out with 1200 and the buff.

I agree. Must look great in person. Saw all that stuff outside and figured it must be hot there now. Surprised it wasn't a little warmer:

Nice job and color choice. Use a paint stick wrapped with 1200 then 1500 to smooth out the runs. The nice thing about base/clear is the redo factor. Tape off to the nearest seam and respray only that part. We can't tell from the pics though.

Thanks guys. I'm getting pretty excited about getting it back together too. You know I have tried with an exhaust shop 4 times to get them to come and quote on systems for this and the 8 and they just won't come and look 
Both are rolling powered chassis. Perfect access for building an exhaust system. I said we'd bring one at a time over on a trailer and let them do their thing. Oh well I just have to try someone else.

Well Saturdays just about done, managed to get clearance from the Interior Minister for some therapy. 
Doors partially back together and somewhat fitted up. Note to anyone doing a full respray: DO remove the door hinge halfs for painting. I decided to leave them on so I could get this finish
However this gave me very little in the way of adjustment and I didn't pay enough attention before pulling it to bits. I have this gap at the rear as a result and no way to close it up :facepalm:
not so bad I guess but I'm a bit of a GAP guy 😏
So moving right along I guess some of you may be wondering what Chase Pittman's honey door trims look like against this crazy green?
I like it. Thanks Chase
All sorts of little jobs today too like the heater box, strip and paint and find out my core leaks. We don't need them here but I'll have to have a working heater (I think) to get it over the pits for rego. At least it looks good
a bit like Darth Vader's hat.
