thats a ton of work switching colors if you do it right, may as well strip it all down to bare body and start over :wink:

Tom is correct, to do it right, it requires a total strip down. My favorite color is a deep pumpkin orange, so I’m looking at stripping down a XJ and completely repainting it. This includes removing fenders and painting the inside of the engine bay, removing doors to paint the inside door panels, removing all exterior trim pieces, interior frame pieces, and bumpers. Lots of work, lots of money, but one nice looking XJ in the end.

Now since were on the subject. Here is the 2002 "Jeep Liberty Patriot".

What's even more interesting is they made a supercharger for the 3.7L V6 engine.

Oh believe me I fully understand the work involved in a proper job painting. I wish I had before and after pics of some of the IH tractors ive restored. Most of them were aquired via utter, non running rust piles and had to be completely stripped down to piles of bolts and such. ie: a 50 M farmall contains 1 5gal bucket of large bolts, 2 paint cans of medium bolts and 2 butter containers of small bolts, give or take a paint can of 'where the heck did that come from, bolts'
I think if all us lost fellas all lost our jobs we'd definatly be able to centrally locate and have one heck of a nice autoshop running

in any case!

Ok, whos the bull bar genie, that bullbar looks like the same one that jeep4me99 has as well and I want to know what it is so i can buy me it at 2:33 in the morning!

edit dont mean the one directly above this post, talkin about the one in the smaller pictures above that just for clarification

i have always liked that yellow kj with the Kenne Bell blower on it. those superchargers have to be outthere somewhere! get some nice forged pistons and new rods, rebuilt head, and that would be sweet!

kinda like the yellow on XJ's, looks good!

Took me six 12 hour days to color change my KJ(well I had to pull a few hundred hail dents out also),and I still didn't do it 100% correctly.I did not pull the engine and paint the engine bay,thought black looked better for a engine bay anyways.

wow i never saw those pictures, cool!! wow it sure has changed lol

how you did it, thats about the only way to really do it right. i hate when i see cars one color on the outside, and once they open the doors, its a totally different color in the jambs and stuff, looks silly

Absolutley! I'm sure tjkj and many of you do as well, but i had pen airbrushes and single strand paint brushes to touch up bolt heads and the like after reassembling the IH's after sandblasting everything down to the last nut and bolt in it's disassembled state, priming and painting and reassembling. You'd always have a bolt here and there that a socket scratched or got scuffed during assembly.

if someone just wants the outside painted a color that looks good 20 feet away may as well go to maaco and just do it horribly wrong to begin with :lol:

*still waiting on the bumper genie, i think jeep dawg's trying to find the seller he got his from

When the factory paint on mine is toast, I'd like to repaint my kj chrome yellow... or whatever yellow it is they used on the wranglers.

I call it "Rescue Yellow" because it's easy to spot from the air by the rescue choppers

Myself I like the harvest gold or better yet a copper color. Hmmmm...I womnder how many cans of rattle paint I'd need to paint my KJ :roll:

if you have a black KJ i'd leave the engine bay and jams black if i were to paint the rest of the KJ another color. leave all the doors on and just let it happen. if it's not black... you'd almost have to do the jams.. but engine bay may not be worth the effort. plus they are only half sprayed from the factory.
