An Appropriately Bad Paint Job (CJ5 rebuild part 15)

[@JeremyMakesThings]

I thought you said you weren't going to do fake patina.

[@mikebroom1866]

You do you!

[@jeffwood8109]

Not fake. Accelerated 😂

[@ironhead65]

Lol😂

[@zooobidooo]

😂

[@henrikskott]

Thanks for setting a good example of changing your mind. I want to get better at that too!

[@jordanlove3575]

Someone building a jeep how they want?! Unacceptable. I appreciate you being real about this project. Most of us just don't have the resources to do a 300k factory-resto-mod-conversion. It's nice just to watch someone build something they're happy with.

[@jeffwood8109]

It looks good. And the nicest part about a beat up Jeep is it's less likely to get robbed/stolen 😅

[@adamsfly6212]

I've said this before, you are a true artisan. I really enjoy watching your work come together. Thanks for sharing. Hmmmm, I think the spacers should have stayed in the garbage. Just my 2 cents.

[@JeremyMakesThings]

I won’t use them as wheel spacers, but I’ll find something to do with them.

[@joeo6378]

This project, the color, and patching... all of it... is stylistically ON POINT for this channel where you fish for rusty metal and turn it into rotary tables. Looks great. Thank you for sharing your progress.

[@eric_seguin]

I would drive the hell out of that thing. Looks cool to me.

[@MrTapanes]

I think it looks great and I love that you left the tailgate green.

[@sierraspecialtyauto7049]

"Actually, I'll use these for something..." Whew. So glad.

[@Fives5275]

Youre doing a great job and I love watching your work and I cant wait to see the final product. Keep it up👍👍

[@BraxtonHoward]

Ron Covell eat your heart out.

[@bobvines00]

LOL! ;)

[@kerryklopfstein4260]

I love watching you create and repair all the while educating us as you go. I believe if your happy with it we should be happy with it.

[@ollysworkshop]

I didn't believe for one minute you would put those spacers in the bin!😂

[@RotarySMP]

That video covers a huge amount of work you have done since the last update. Respect!

[@Porkhammer]

I think it looks great, looking forward to more of your Jeep videos!

[@calvinboykin4777]

I don’t understand some people executive a showroom restoration on the Jeep. It appears to me that you are creating a piece of art representing an artifact of the past and I think you are capturing that perfectly. Since the conversion to electric is a great idea as it doesn’t significantly change the appearance but gives a more dependable drive train while maintaining the appearance that a 50+ year old jeep should have. I can’t wait to see the final creation. Way to go!!!!

[@skyra-II]

Thank you for recovering those spacers from the bin. That would have bothered me all day!

[@larryboschen1287]

You crack me up. I enjoy watching your project and listening to your smart a$$ wit! Keep up the good work.

[@Mr49Studebaker]

I think it's looking great. Most of these are covered in 30 layers of brushed on house paint and whatever else people had laying around or rotted completely into the ground. Keep up the great work and glad you saved this one.

[@Rustinox]

Well, I don't know how many hours of work you did condecate in this video, but a lot. And it looks great.

[@billygoat810]

This is an awesome project. Keep up the great work.

[@warrenjones744]

Later this summer, right after he paints it, Someone gives him a new old stock soft top, Jeremy reinstalls the bow mount holes 🤣 Looking good sir.

[@deancoley7987]

Everything about this channel is excellent, the editing, narrative, workmanship, projects, and of course the captain of the ship

[@Dibblah1900]

Love it. Having played the game of chance I like to call 'chase the keyhole you just blew through' I appreciate some of the blood, sweat and tears that this entails. Looks like you're 80% done! Only another 90% to go :D

[@Tishers]

I felt a shiver run up my spine when you tossed those billets of aluminum in the bin. Then you saved the day by removing them and hiding them on a shelf somewhere. I "get it" with the look that you are going for, it is pretty cool. Do it your own way!

[@kerryklopfstein4260]

It’s your Jeep, make it our own. Love watching the process.

[@KelsoCanoes]

Enjoying the build series! Ill be starting a cj-8 scrambler build in the near future just gotta finish up all the pre-projects to get to the project of choice.

[@bobvines00]

Jeremy, I agree 110% with how you rebuilt & finished the tub. I hope to do something similar to my now 78-years-old CJ-2A. When I bought it back in the mid-70s, I could already look through the holes in the floor & watch the road go by as I drove down the road. Now the floor is virtually completely gone and I'll try to replace it like you did on yours. I just hope that I can gather the wherewithal to build whatever I need to make the replacement parts rather than just buying "too-thin" stamped replacements. I *think* it was red like yours originally, but it turned OD shortly after I got it (too much Rat Patrol on TV when I was growing up I guess) -- now I'll have to decide what color to paint it when I get to that point!

[@thebigchuckster]

My brother's old farm ute had been repainted with a roller before we salvaged it. It looked just perfect for its job, and stood up to years of abuse & neglect. I think your approach is perfect for this resto/e-mod.

[@junkyardsearcher6407]

I totally agree with your body and paint idea, it looks great

[@brasscog8890]

Keep it up looks great... ROI on this is -9000 looks great

[@MishterDale]

I found your channel recently maybe a monthish or so.. and I'm afraid I'm going to run out of your videos to watch. I started watching because I'm into learning machining. I have an old 6" craftsman lathe. I've made a milling attachment for it that's still under development. I think one of the main reasons I watch your channel is you use what you have. Originally, I avoided the jeep saga videos but now I'm in it for the long haul. I also believe a lot of the things you do are things I would do. I would like to address some of the comments you've addressed like about the jeep blasphemy or whatever. I think the jeep is sick! But i would also watch you do the same to an old geo metro if that means anything. I imagine there are way more people like me than the others. I appreciate you making these videos. Thank you.

[@adeeponionbrah]

Looks great!

[@sherylryan7038]

A Jeremy quality video as usual your humour is first class look forward each te you upload a new one keep them coming ❤

[@jarodlittle36]

It looks awesome. FYI the rustoleum implement paint is actually pretty good. I used it on my CJ5

[@canonsonico3752]

Dude! You are doc brown just before getting his flux capacitor!

[@mumblbeebee6546]

Just a brief comment of appreciation for Uncle Algo!

[@stevewilliams2498]

My approach was conservation not restoration. I love genuine patina. I see nothing wrong in protecting your hard work with a protective layer. Even if it looks too good. It kind of exaggerates the genuine bit. Plus, it will develop its own over time and it will be a recorded event in the history of the vehicle.

[@williemickbillie]

i think the steel would appreciate the new paint but that's a future problem

[@StraightLineCycles]

I like it

[@FullSendPrecision]

I love it.

[@barthanes1]

As much work as you did, I would have highlighted the weld seams. It looks great, though.

[@EdTurner.]

I like it, 😅

[@Mad-Duk_Machine_Werkes]

I've used a LOT of that Majik Paint, if its on a drill press or Milling machine you intend on keeping INDOORS it's excellent, but if it's going out in the sun it will be chalky and flat and look 100yrs old inside of 6 months in the FL sun, dont know how much Sun you get in your state?

[@junkyardsearcher6407]

He added hardener to it, it should be fine I would think.

[@Mad-Duk_Machine_Werkes]

@@junkyardsearcher6407 Nope, I've use the Majik-brand hardener, as well as others, it looks and stays amazing INDOORS, but that paint has NO lasting in the sun, will be a flat chalky, PINK faded mess inside of 6 months (here in FL, his results maybe different depending on how much sun he gets there)

[@junkyardsearcher6407]

@@Mad-Duk_Machine_Werkes that doesn’t give me hope on my paint… thanks for the info.

[@JeremyMakesThings]

That will either complete the look, or I’ll consider this a trial run and do it over with higher quality paint when I break it all down to do the inside and underside.

[@junkyardsearcher6407]

@@Mad-Duk_Machine_Werkes have you used Rustoleum paint with hardener? With longer lasting results?

[@N.Cognito]

To everyone who says you should do more, if in the future you decide to make it a show car you still can. Its not like you cant ever take it back apart and make it perfect if you one day decide to. I know its not thr point of this Jeep, but IF you want to later you always can. I knew you werent going to trash the spacers, i wouldn't either.

[@JeremyMakesThings]

Exactly. I’ve tried to do everything the “right” way so it can be cleaned up later if I choose to do so.

[@vandalsgarage]

Throwing the spacers in the trash bin is clearly a joke. We all know Jeremy recycles EVERYTHING. I expect they'll be turned into some sort of work holding jig, or maybe a telescope.

[@jimhoran5445]

[@googleuser3110]

If you don't like the paint brushing, go find a jeep and make your own video.

[@billbaggins]

I still reckon it needs polka dots. Mostly cos you seem to enjoy snarky comments 🤣

[@veejaybomjay8145]

Dude, did you really mention a French protest film in a video featuring a half restoration of an old jeep? Perhaps the jeep is your version of said French protest film. You could do worse.

[@RB-yq7qv]

It looks good from the "First State" ! Thanks for your expertise.
