$50 Paint Job! Lusterless Green really improves the looks of my Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ.

[@notsureigaf]

"They make tack rags to get every speck of dust off, so I'm just gonna take a garden hose and spray it off" 😆 legendary!

[@livergen]

Exactly😎, As soon as he said that I knew I had arrived at the right place. I have a 93 ZJ and it looks like the hood , (( splotchy gray With clear coat peeling off )) And there is some rust on the roof. It definitely looks like the poor stepchild from a bad neighborhood, but the interior is super nice and I keep the mechanical aspects of it as perfect as I can, I love driving it and at this point it's become an addiction. I owe it to the old girl to at least make it more appealing to the eye,, I actually like that green color, or even maybe some fighter jet gray would look nice.

[@MrVasile]

I *LOVE* this guy! With the flip-phone! Perfect!

[@CaptainHowdy1969]

I'd painted that side cladding flat black...that flat lusterless green with flat black would look alot better than leaving the cladding grey...but overall it looks way better than before and I'm def diggin' that flat green & the fact you applied it with a roller is priceless!

[@StewsChannel]

Love it! The olive drab/forest greens are one of my favorite colors, plus easy to touch up and hide lots of oops's! Jeep looks first class now, I'd be driving her to town :)

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks! I was really impressed with how many flaws it hid. If I can get the A/C working again, I might daily drive this one!

[@northerntranquility1614]

That turned out really good ,that color looks nice and I can't believe how well it hid everything 100 percent improvement

[@kwmoore3464]

I'm a little late to this video. I've been watching for some time now & don't know how I overlooked this one. I used to have a '93 ZJ & now I have an '02 WJ. I have always loved the OD color on Jeeps. I was in the Marines a long time ago & now I'm thinking I could use a USMC Forest Green paint job. I love that color!!

Nice, It came out looking really good! Painted my 71 W200 Rust oleum hunter green, paint has held up really well, rolled it on. I liked it so much I did my 89 F250 IDI, its crazy how many people comment on the trucks after I paint them. Looking forward to seeing halftrack done!

[@Thundarr995]

If your factory non painted plastic trim looks like crap, you can paint it with rustoleum truck bed coating. Prepping it is key. Make sure you clean it thoroughly with PPG wax & grease remover. I know a guy who painted his trim with that stuff about 3yrs ago and it's still holding up pretty well. They sell plastic bumper paint also. I've never used it, so idk how good it is? I cleaned my trim up with Maguire's interior in the spray bottle. It looks pretty good, almost brand new.

[@LowBuckGarage]

Good info, thanks!

[@martinrice6541]

I love that color!

[@bymarcatholictinkering]

Always enjoyable

[@TeamTopKick]

Looks good. I'd bedline those trim pieces flat black.

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks! 👍

[@thewampus97tj]

Looks great 👍

[@onawhim7737]

Big improvement is right. On camera it looks like OD green. You can pick that up in a rattle can for touch ups. Great job for 50 bucks and your time!

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks 👍 Its real close to OD, just a bit darker for the USMC. Still available though!

[@luisantoniocamacho3795]

Nice job man, get a step further and clean your plastics then, whit care use a heat gun to restore it like brand new, fully recommended, i hope to see a video on you channel when you done with plastics, greetings from mexico, ZJ´s Team

[@albatrosnh]

Awesome video but.....how did I JUST see the 55gallon vent on the roof?!?!? Amazing!

[@LowBuckGarage]

It is subtle... ;-) It was an experiment in using wind power to pump water, which never worked out the way I wanted. Now its just a wind speed indicator, until I find another use for it. And thanks!

[@CaptIzzy-hp7pu]

I just noticed that also,,,lol, sweet.i have a 2000 WJ...33s, lifted 3",2"spacers,and a roll on paint job as well, only thing I did different was Matte black and foam roller.was going with gun metal gray but ended up having lots of left over from a previous job, but it turned out good.Honestly I think the green being flat turned out better, looks good.

I may have to roller paint my car now... it looks even worse than yours did, despite being a 2013, after I rear-ended someone! Definitely would be an improvement.

Hi, looks good , I would do it that way .

[@lunchbox2784]

Looks great to me, like a Jeep should be. Time for some custom bumpers with some sharp approach angles. Rock sliders? Boat sides?

[@LowBuckGarage]

Not that it looks halfway decent, I'm planning on making this a camping rig. I think my next step is going to be a rear rack and maybe a boat loader for the roof.

[@MidnightPolaris800]

Lmao about finding the other pieces right after...thats how it always goes

[@larryalexander4833]

I've found the foam rollers do quite well with a little practice

[@LowBuckGarage]

I'll have to try that, this fluffy one started coming apart when it got tacky. Had to keep it wet and move fast.

[@r1lark]

Looks good! Just my opinion of course, but it would look even better with the body cladding painted olive drab too. :-)

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks! I think you're right, the cladding did not make it better. I'll do something about that the next time I work on it...

[@475catatlive]

Nice

[@shanehall5659]

Love the paint. Where is this paint available?

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks! I bought it off ebay, the color is 34052, its a Marine forest green.

[@EleanorsDriver]

Sweet

[@toddellis5197]

The rear wheels look to be touching the fender wells... any plans to put it a bit higher, or cutting out the excess?

[@LowBuckGarage]

There's a little bit of clearance, close to an inch. With these rear suspensions, the tire moves backward as the spring compresses, so it actually fits better when you hit bumps. So far its worked out ok, but if it hits I'll just get out the sawzall and make more room...

[@toddellis5197]

@@LowBuckGarage Awesome! Love the color choice! You should paint those side pieces matte black. I used rustoleum camo black for the fender flares on my TJ... It looks awesome!

[@LowBuckGarage]

Its color number 34052, USMC forest green. I bought it from "armytankguy" back in May. Like everything else lately, the price has gone up, he's now listing it at $45 a gallon.

[@FNG910]

Man I love that color. How did the paint hold up?

[@LowBuckGarage]

It's holding up well, pretty much looks the same now as when I painted it. The green works for me, but I'm not sure about the grey cladding. Still debating re-doing that part...

[@Steve-Pitt]

@@LowBuckGarage I would just tape off the trim and spray paint it with black bed liner paint. I did that to my side trim, bumpers and grill on my 95 ZJ and it came out great!

[@AJ-ri5ee]

Who's the seller?

[@MartinLopez-ys5dm]

I thought a barrel was rolling off the roof and going to hit ya' man...What is that?

[@LowBuckGarage]

Its called a "Savonius Rotor", basically a low speed windmill. I built it about 10 years ago to try to pump water out of an old well, but there were too many leaks to work right. Now it just shows how fast the wind is going, until I find a new use for it...

[@murphytoadster9864]

The tires are unacceptably too close to your fender well in the rear.

[@indylmc]

In other words ... perfect

[@torreypires6192]

hi just wondering your lift and tire size

[@LowBuckGarage]

I think the lift is about 2-3". Its pieced together, not from any particular manufacturer. Tires are 285/75R16. They rub on full lock in the front, even with spacers, and are really close to the fender edge in the rear. Not ideal, but they work.

[@enzofitzhume7320]

👍

[@Нина-в8и5е]

мужик ты гонишь

[@331mexa]

Can someone tell me the exact name of this paint??

[@LowBuckGarage]

There's a few different people that make it, the color is "Marine Forest Green flat 34052". The number at the end is a standard US color code, so any military paint with that 34052 should be the same color. I bought it off ebay, but military vehicle restoration places sell it.

[@jkutyna]

Should send that paint tray back and get your dollar back. That was false advertising on that tray. Thing went up and melted like a democrat in a debate.

[@guilleport]

😅😂😊

[@craigrsa8565]

Looks great, some good pointers, can i ask for description on your wheels and tyres the sizing looks great

[@craigrsa8565]

Old tyres

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks! Those are 285/75R16 Hankook Dynapro's on factory 16" ZJ wheels. I also added a spacer (I think it was 1.25 or 1.5") to keep them from rubbing when turning all the way. One other note, these were used tires, and they're really close to the front edge of the rear wheel well. If they were new and had taller tread, I don't know if they would still clear. Might take a bit of hammering on the edge then.

[@w9ntn]

Nice
