I got bored Sunday and decided to paint the quarter panels of the Jeep black. I used satin black Krylon paint. This is only the second time I've painted anything on a vehicle. First being the black below the doors that goes all the way back. I think it turned out pretty good. I'm really thinking about painting the entire Jeep that color. It took less than an hour and a half including taping, sanding etc. Here it is during paint after the second coat...

And here's what I ended up with...

i like it im doing the same thing to my truck that way if i scratch the hell out of the paint i can touch it up for bout a $1 lol
 
I like it but get ready to get a bashing from some members because they don't like anything but shiny paint jobs. I got it when I posted pics of mine after I sprayed it in flat black primer with a gun. I think it looks tough and I don't have to worry about scratching it in the woods or some idiot door dinging it in a parking lot. Looks great! Keep up the good work!

Oh well I like it and I think it looks good. It's not shiny but it'll do. I only gave $300 for the Jeep so I'm not worried about dings or dents. I appreciate it man, thanks!
 
If you you do go with the rest of the Jeep, I have a source for a hot rod black in kits. I use this supplier pretty often, and it might be a good option for you. It would easier to apply and save a little money if you have to cover a lot. A quart kit runs about $46.00 and makes 1.5 qts of sprayable material. It is a activated paint, so it will have the strength of a two part automotive clear. You would just want to wet sand the surface with P600 first, and wipe it down with wax/grease remover, or alcohol. This might be a cheaper alternative if you plan on doing the entire truck below the trim. It comes in different colors, and even metallics. Just wear a respirator if you spray this stuff. Hit me up if you ever need any paint/body advice.
