I purchased the raptor liner kit off ebay from seller tcpglobal and it was $109 and I used 2 kits so $218 for the liner,,the paint was bought from summit racing
SUM-SWSP310G 2K HS URETHANE PRIMER $59.95
2K HS HARDENER $26.95
SUM-SWBC517 BOMBER BLUE METALLIC $139.95 bought 2 so $279.90
SUM-SWBR585G WARM BASECOAT REDUCER 39.95
SUM-SWSC610G SUMMIT OVERALL CLEARCOAT $69.95
SUM-SWSH612Q MEDIUM HARDENER $24.95
this should be close less the shipping cost and of course regular supplies like sanding paper and other supplies,,I hope not to have to buy any more clearcoat but I want at least to more coats but I think I have enough unless I mess up

I'm liking what I see. The blue you picked is very similiar to the blue I'm using. Our jeeps will look eeriely similiar. Keep up the good work, I hope to post some preview pictures of some of my painted stuff. I have gotten a few parts back, tailgate, windshield frame, dash, etc. I'll post up later.

well havent done much since the cold weather but starting on the doors for some rust repairs and then paint , have a new windshield to paint also and waiting on my new soft top from bestop , found it on sale with soft doors from truck addons Part Number 51603 in black denim for $680 shipped , seemed like a good deal so now I need to finish the windshield to get it installed but may take awhile as I want to fix my steel doors as well and paint all at once and there is a big rust hole behind one hinge and there is some spots on both doors were the upper frame around the window under the weather seal , will show progress pictures once I get started good
I love the Cj , but I like the way the Challenger muscles its way into the pic.
