I've actually had 3 CJ7s. All 3 were 1986 models with the Dana 44 rear axle. One was a complete rust bucket and I never did get it on the road before I bought the blue one so I got rid of it. I sold the blue one when I bought the yellow one.

I just did a wet sanding after I got done rolling the paint on and it turned out pretty well.

thanks for the info rodger. what paint did you buy tho? automotive paint or just general paint?

I just used Rustoleum in a can. It wasn't automotive paint at all. I did thin it with mineral spirits before rolling it on. I don't remember ever having a chip come off after I finished it.

hmmm.... after hearing this maybe i'll roll on some olive drab and make a stencil that says "the duke" to put on the hood where rubicon would normally be put. (the duke is the project name since it has the iron duke engine in it)
