Chris, I followed your instructions for restoring the door panels on my own 2004 TJ and the results were amazing. I want to thank you for sharing your approach to repairs and restoration. You have no idea how much help you have given me.
Good job. One thing I recommend is using a clear coat to protect the color. From uv as well as abuse. It will help the paint last longer and you can also change the glossyness to more flat or satin verses whatever you end up with using the paint. Acetone is a good cleaner as long as it does not melt the plastic. Also dentured alchohal Ive seen be used with good results. Definitly need scotch bright and or fine scrub brush.
Clear speaking.Nice. Great video.Id like to add a tip. As for the spots which are brittle caused by uv deterioration theres a way to fix it. Get vinyl filler .Its in putty form.It can be applied evenly over the gritty areas and sanded off.The thing to watch out for is that the.texture will differ from that of other parts so the trick is to apply very thinly just enough not to alter the texture patter.
Panels look fabulous. Love this DIY stuff with common household items. Priceless tips also. I’m grateful for your common sense. I agree that Dupli-Color paint is good but the nozzles ain’t no damn good. Miss your Chevelle videos.
Hey@ I have a TJ and the door has been repaired already. It was sahara body colour and sprayed to gray. The paint is now flaking at the top. Trouble is it looked like they broke the panel and then attached it back. So I don't want to remove them again. Is it possible to just mask of the parts and leave the panel on? I don't want to break the panels anymore.
the valve on the can is what gets clogged and fails. You just soak the nozzle in mineral spirits but don’t leave it in too long it will dissolve the glue and blow it apart
Never put a needle in the nozzle cause it will mess up the fan pattern. The way you keep the sputtering is to heat your paint up but soaking in hot water or set on the defroster in your vehicle. Then shake the can really well.....when you are done shaking.....shake it some more. Then after a minute of spraying shake your can some more.
***PRO TIP*** Use one or two drops of either a 3 in 1 oil or some sort of oil meant for lubricating fan motors and bearings. Probably any oil that isn’t too thick will work. Drops go straight into the male or female output hole on the spray can. Place cap back on and spray it in the air or on scrap for a second or two to blow out any excess oil in the cap. Paint will no longer clog or stick inside the cap and you should have a smooth spraying experience for the duration of your project 🤫
I have steering wheels I painted 20 years ago that haven’t even rubbed the color off yet.. just wash them twice with bleach soap.. people think I make this shit up for my videos... smh
im about to do a video using color bond ( expensive brand) and see how that works out.. people spray interiors with armor all then don’t get it all off before trying to paint .. then the paint just flakes off
@@chriscraft77022 The door panels to my 1987 Dodge Dakota. I had washed them down with water, then used a bathroom scrub with bleach to scrub the surface in order to make it clean then I had washed it off again. After it dried I scratched it and the paint just comes off like acrylic paint. Also I used the same paint in this video
@@NumberedK. you must of used a soap with something in it that made the paint stick to whatever is in the soap.. i have sprayed carpets to seats.. everything with this stuff an i have never had it flake off... i have even used it as paint to match interior parts over metal parts.. i have never even had it rub off over years on a steering wheel color change.. the surface of the panels was not prepped right.. thats all i have to say..

Great job, thank you for sharing. This is exactly what I was looking for.
everyone is crying I didn’t use adhesion promoter so check that out
A good tip as far as it spitting out the paint is to take a needle and clean out the spray hole
the valve on the can is what gets clogged and fails. You just soak the nozzle in mineral spirits but don’t leave it in too long it will dissolve the glue and blow it apart
Never put a needle in the nozzle cause it will mess up the fan pattern.

Nice job. Where is the 1970 SS.
Nice job I like it , my next fix thanks 😀👌🍺
Looks ok to me fantastic channel and video too
Nice ass jeep my man! I got a 99 as well and my ass is gonna do the exact same stuff to my jeep
Great video... does it have a residual smell of paint in the cab of the vehicle?
no
Nice job that's what I'm doing to my car right now
How long I dry it in sun?
Hey great job ! how did it look several months on ?
i had to respray them.. I have a video duplicolor vs color bond.., after recoat they stayed perfect to this day
Rustoleum trim and bumper paint is better. In my experience.
Will that work on vinyl?
@@Sip28 Yes. I painted my dash pad with it.
How has it held up over time?
@@josephbrisco1826 No problems as of this moment.
What's different about it? @@superfuntime3107
Did you wet the comet or use dry
Did you watch the video? Because if you did, you'd know he sprinkled it, then wet it.
Great video. But no mask ??
You ever do a clear coat over these ? If not why not? Just curious is all! Looks good though. I’m about to do it to my pickup.
study adhesion promoters.. no. I have never clear coated them
@@chriscraft77022 awesome thanks, I don’t know much about painting outside of homes lol!
When you go to to wipe it with some meguires is the paint gonna come off?
I have steering wheels I painted 20 years ago that haven’t even rubbed the color off yet.. just wash them twice with bleach soap.. people think I make this shit up for my videos... smh
@@chriscraft77022 your good thats why i ask, just to be sure before i go and do my own
im about to do a video using color bond ( expensive brand) and see how that works out.. people spray interiors with armor all then don’t get it all off before trying to paint .. then the paint just flakes off
Nice video. But why did you need half high door panels
jeeps have half doors
Good job. Thank you.
So can you stop halfway thru?
🤡 you will if you ever try
Mine scratches off, any help?
what are you spraying? I have never had that happen

@@chriscraft77022 Dang it, for sure thanks. Any possible ways of fixing it? Is there a clear coat or something I can add to make it un-scratchable?
no
Im curious does the jeep smell like paint now?
NO... paint cures.. why would you think that? paint does not leave a smell.. if it does you did something wrong and are having a chemical reaction
Oh cool thanks no i was just wondering cause u know how regular spray paint smells
@@Gmed11 oil based paint smells.. cause it takes forever to cure.. like rustoleum..
You sand it down right?
no way don’t even try that
I scuff mine down with a gray scotch pad.
Can it do to fabric ?
yeah, but it leaves it stiff ...test it first
When you spray fabric when the paint dries take a stiff brush to brush the fabric down. Then spray again and brush again. Also vacuum after brushing.
Thanks
The tip on the can looks to be dirty
thank you tip expert
Can’t you sand it down instead
I would never sand plastic
Forst commment love ur videos bro check put my channel and i love all feedback and criticsim
Those duplicolor tips suck ass. I never use them . U could have gottwn the same thing out of Rustoleum satin black . Rustoleum tips are the best.
I have not used rustoleum interior paint.. is it good?
@@chriscraft77022 all of thier paint is head and shoulders above the rest. The only time I buy another brand is if I cant find it in rustoleum
