Here's a post about what NOT to do if you want people to be impressed by your paint job.



before-paint picture of my wrangler.



Krylon "camo" rattlecan tan.-

I would not suggest using this on a vehicle ever if you live somewhere that has moisture. In about half a year it bleached and then got covered in mold spots which dug in nicely on the porous paint.



Duplicolor fabric paint-

This stuff is actually pretty awesome for painting soft tops. the one pictured was extremely weathered grey. The camo pattern I pulled from a TM for painting an M151 "mutt" utility truck.



Tan Engine Enamel (duplicolor?)

This stuff worked so well in the engine bay that I used it for the exterior coating.



Here you can see the difference in colors.



The best part about a no-fucks-given paint job is that you don't have to give a gently caress. Even when you get rock damage or scrapes from trees.

The downside is everyone else can tell you didn't originally give a gently caress when you first painted it.

Herculiner is great. It's pretty much my interior.

Another thing for me to consider since the carpets in my truck are long past hosed. Ever have any issues with the cab floor getting too hot for comfort?

My wrangler's floor can get warm but I have rubber floor mats (also reduces wear on the bed liner).
