Is it possible or even a good idea to use some sort of bedliner like Durabak on the exterior of my XJ? I just finished sanding my down and was just going to slap on some Krylon rattle can but now im thinking i should with something more heavy duty.
I did my jeep from the lower door trim down. I used Duplicolor (not by first choice, got the cans for free so thought, what the hell) It has been on over a year with no fade out, looks as black as can be. Of course, I am in the midwest, don't know how the UV rays in AZ would affect it.
1. Obviously wash jeep thoroughly.
2. Scuff up surface with 180-220 grit sandpaper and orbital sander.
3. Wash again, making sure to clean thorougly.
4. Wipe done with Acetone, repeatedly.
5. Tape off and paint a primer coat of POR-15, wait till minimal finger drag
and apply 2nd coat.
6. While 2nd coat of POR-15 is still tacky/minimal finger drag, apply light
coat of duplicolor.
7. Wait 30 minutes or so, reapply 2nd coat. Wait 2 hours, apply 3rd/final
coat.
8. Wait till barely tacky and apply thin coat of rustoleum satin black outdoor
paint. Reapply within 45 minutes.
9 Wait 48 hours and reapply 3rd coat of rustoleum topcoat.
10. After completely dry apply pinstripping to make a crisp edge.
