! Still need to meet in person one day! heh I feel like I know you through your work already.

:coffeedrink:

We go to Vancouver often, to visit family near Chinatown, but with parking and crime in the city the way it is, I never bring the Jeep up...

Great to see it in the wild Paul!

I have been using it regularly... Half the time it's my daily driver for getting around town... At least once a month I use it to sleep in while I'm away from home building trailers out of town...

Paint Prep...

 

[PaulJensen]

(above) Two quarts of Rustloeum Aluminum, thinned with 15% acetone and Valspar Enamel Hardener sprayed through an HVLP gun...

(above) The new paint is close enough in tone to original that it doesn't look weird...

(above) The new paint will be significantly cooler on the hot sunny days than the previous darker matte grey...

(above) Just need to wait a few days before re-mounting the stuff that was out there...

(above) Stoked to get this done...!!!...

(above) I still need to paint the interior of the rear door... No hurry...

Paint job looks excellent. I bet it would be cooler than mat grey... that's like a heat sponge. Nice job too on the match, looks pretty good.

I hear you on the Vancouver thing and parking, I am on Vancouver Island, far less crime here, unless you have a bicycle that is. Auto crime in Vancouver (especially the Fraser Valley it seems) is pretty bad these days.
