so i was thinking about painting my jeep with this
Marine Coatings 1 qt. Gloss Deep Green Topside Paint (2-Pack)-182807 at The Home Depot

talking to some people they say i can just roll it on with a paint roller and then wet sand it down. figure since it's boat paint it's gotta be pretty durable.

thoughts? comments?

Look at POR-15.

I highly recommend it. It does need a top coat for UV resistance, but bonds with the rust.

but will it stick to a painted surfaces? i would use por15 as a primer pretty much right?

i just read the directions and i'd have to strip the jeep down to bare metal to do this. F THAT!

I would go and look at a can to see if it can be thinned and sprayed. it is such a huge PITA to roll then wet sand. I bought some farm implement paint for my CJ project and was able to reduce it with naptha and add some hardner to it and sprayed it.. came out reallY good. I bought a $20 paint gun from harbor freight and a water seperator for $10. I used spray cans of buildable gray primer, put down 3 coats of it then wet sanded it to get it smooth. 3 coats of black and it was looking good

I tried to get a few pics posted but got defeated by the computer. if you look over the posts on the first page you can see the paint results.

CAN I PAINT OVER POR-15 WITH OTHER PAINTS? Absolutely, POR-15 will accept all paints including lacquer-based paints. Either POR-15 Self -Etching Primer or Tie-coat Primer are the best primers

Keep reading the instructions. . .

There's always spray cans.
