you know what your problem is, Fred, you come in here with your "I'm the kewlist Jeep parts slinger evar" attitude and you just come off as a mean old poopiehead
hey I think it sounds pretty cool
Creighton, you have done stuff with that jeep that would make a goat go "holy ****!"
well, I just don't see the point. If you want a ****ty paintjob, just get some cheap single stage enamel that is designed to be used on a car, and sprayed through a paint gun. Even then, you could expect some decent results if you know how to spray, wetsand, and buff.

well one point is that it's supposed to come out better and last longer than a ****ty paintjob with cheap enamel, and another point is that it's applied with a roller, meaning you don't need a paint booth, a gun or even a compressor
yeah, I read more of the post around page 13 or so and they are complaining of bubbling and **** tons of orange peel. The problem is most people don't know the difference between good paint and ****ty paint as long as it's got some shine to it. The point is you DO NOT use a f'n roller to put paint on a car.
****ty paint:
Decent paint:

I don't care if you do think fred is a ****y *******, you will lose this argument. The man knows his paint, right Flem?

I know just what I'm lookin for
Thunderbird will do just fine.
Read that a while ago from pirate, and I think the guys later on were using rustoleum, which is different than the tremlon or whatever. It was a different type of paint that's not avaliable in the US for some reason and bonded differently. I think the original paint jobs are pretty damn nice for $50.
that dude Fred...he knows everything that we don't even know the littlest about
He's like a car fact god. I fact I heard god called asking for some jeep parts and once god realized the wealth of knowledge that Fred knew he decided to ask him about paint and chevy engines and transmissions and all sorts of stuff that Fred knows all about.
Note: this is neither a mockery or a compliment just a true story

Fred has forgotten more than you will ever know Creighton.
