I've been thinkin about painting my 93 YJ since i got it a few months ago. i've thought about several different options but cant decide on one. Could you guys help me out and tell me some new ideas if you have em. also im a high school student so im lookin for somethin fairly cheap.

Problem spots
Doors and part of the body have been keyed.
hood has a big spot of gray paint from previous owner, only on the part that sticks up.
grill has several big paint chips
inside floor has most paint off the floor (im afraid its going to rust)

Exterior

1st and cheapest option- take off all my hinges, tire holder, grill, and windshield tie downs and spray paint black. do several coats of that and then put glossy clear coat over that. ive tried this out on a couple hinges and it looks sweet. Then also take off my hood and paint just the part that sticks up black. leave everything else red.

2nd option- ive heard about people rhino ing the outside of their jeep, i havnt been able to find good pics of this yet though so idk how it would look. sounds pretty cool as long as it didnt fade to much.

3rd option- taking it to a professional and having the whole thing blacked out. (maybe do the opposite of the first idea and leave all the hinges and stuff red?)


Interior

option 1- put a black vinal flooring down (this one is from morris 4x4)
Black Automotive Molded Vinyl Flooring*ACC-1957-16 by the Jeep Specialists | Morris 4x4 Center
Havn't seen any reviews about this though.

option 2- rhino line eventually, i just need to find somehow find time for preping it.


Whatever i do it needs to last for several years, and look really good. cant be to much money because i dont have it.

eventually im going to get some armor for it, probably black. also i want to powder coat my rims black.

i still dont know how to post pictures in the forum but you can look at my jeep by going to my profile, i have a few pictures.

thanks for your thoughts

I herculined my YJ in the inside. I made a paint booth inside my garage and painted it. It isn't that hard to do it yourself. I have less than $200 into the paint and herculiner.

Before full of holes, dents, and rust:

i have painted a few with the paint you can get from Eastwood and seems to cover and look great well worth the cash about 100.00 for a gallon of spray able paint

most NAPA stores sell a pretty good paint for cheap (compared to dupont at least) your pointing finger would fall off before you can put enough rattle cans on to cover the jeep, and then the automotive clear might have a bad reaction to it (chemically) the key to a good paint job is in the prepwork, it must be clean and straight and every nook and cranny must be sanded to the new paint to stick (and last without bubbling/pealing) the cheap harbor freight HVLP guns actually paint really well. and hurc the inside, that vinal floor will hold moisture under it and make the floor rust faster if you don't address the rust you have already

On my Jeep I used a cheap HVLP gun. Base and clear from Napa. You can see from the pics I posted it came out ok. I spent half a saturday on the paint. It more fun if you do it yourself. I put some pearl ghost flames in the paint and had fun.
