The only DIY channel worth watching. No BS just getting it done.

[@k13ehr]

I agree, but I think Colt should have his own channel as well as contributing on this one.

[@MattsOffRoadRecovery]

That looks amazing!

[@bleepinjeep]

Thanks Matt, might be time for a Banana VS Rats Nest run!!😉👍

[@alexmartin9951]

"I'd buy that for a dollar" 😆

[@charleswidmore5458]

I know right! I always loved that color and had no idea it came in a bedliner. I think the Avocado might be getting a bit greener'er!

[@alexmartin9951]

This is why I love watching BJ. I have a soft spot for the old cheap bangers. With you and Matt having kids at or close to driving age. I'd love to see a "bolt on only" build, that maybe us mere mortals with no fab skills and limited budget could do at home. Keep up the good work from Australia!!!

[@AudioFreqx]

Most of the rigs you'll see irl ARE bolt ons. ♥

[@tvstar650]

Colt y’all rock. This is just one of the reasons I like watching the vids you put out. You show what can be done with a little time and effort. Keep it up sir.

[@bleepinjeep]

I appreciate that!

[@idrisddraig2]

I've roll pained two vehicles , here is what I've learned. 1st was with tractor paint (similar colour to this jeep - Deutz green). It went on quite thin and was over a darker coulour. Took 3 coats to make it a solid colour, sanding between each coat. From a few feet you couldn't tell it was rolled on. It did fade after a few years, but rubbing compound by hand and 2 days effort (by hand) mad it look good again. 2nd one military vehicle paint. 1 and done,no 2nd coat needed. But looks textured, not as obvious as the bedliner, but form 3m (10ft) you can tell its not a spray paint job. I sprayed one with this type of paint 15 years ago, and it still looks the same as a week after I painted it - dull but ok.

[@bradwinter156]

Looks great! I painted a 62 Scout with a roller. I used oil based Rust-Oleum brown, it looked like a new car compared to the ugly green and silver and black... The best thing after a day of rubbing trees and rocks I would just dust it off, open a quart of paint and hit it with a brush. New again for the drive to work.

[@dragos-ioancraciun9810]

Yes I have painted my daily driver with a roller, a 16 year old toyota. My friends laughed for a while cause I didn't spend like 3 to 4 grand to paint it, but I got the job done, the car looked decent and it held up ok for about 2 years now. It was worth it given the fact that I spend under 100 $ for that paintjob. Painting the metal of a car is not such a big deal if you don't want showroom perfection, it's when you have rust when the problems appear and it becomes harder to DIY.

[@cooders71]

My dad has roller painted his last 3 work trucks,battleship gray. They all looked great from afar(and actually not bad up close). Very durable, EASY to touch up and affordable.

[@seanmcd6245]

Did this to my YJ with Monstaliner. Looks good and holds up pretty well. Tends to chip pretty easily as it ages but they sell touch up kits relatively cheap.

[@jilbertb]

Painted a van with paint brushes once and put the rainbow "heart beat" from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album on the side.

[@fishing_with_chaz]

A cool paint trick we use in our shop is we use 1/4" soft rope around the window weather stripping and it allows us to paint around the weather stripping and it comes out super clean. Great video by the way

[@bleepinjeep]

Thank you Chaz!

[@addictedtonatureTV]

I did the inside and outside of my YJ wrangler with Monstaliner. It's held up great through the years. I'm planning on doing my motorcycle next.

[@dennydobson2754]

That looks great! I have not ever painted a vehicle with a brush or roller, but my wife's brothers and sisters were nice enough to paint their dad's van with brushes and house paint when they were little! It didn't turn out near as good as yours, but their hearts were in the right place. Needless to say, he was definitely surprised!

[@yjsaabman]

Colt, you will never be lost with that paint job! Rat's Nest can be spotted from space, now! I have actually rolled paint on a car! It's been 15-ish years, back when the interwebs was abuzz with the roll on Rustoleum paint job. I helped a buddy paint his tubbed Gremlin with rollers. It came out pretty good, though he caved and sprayed the final coat.

[@rowlinstoned3715]

I love me some Colt & Matt! Y'all really stand out amongst all offroad channels. I have several I absolutely LOVE and Bleepin Jeep is 2nd to NONE! Can't wait to wheel with y'all!

[@poppinblisters8782]

I herculined my XJ. After a year it looked like it was in a fire. Everyone loved it.

[@staceys9107]

Do you have the link for the hood scoop? I couldn’t hear what you said on the video. Awesome fun watching you dude thanks for what y’all do, very thankful!!!

[@bleepinjeep]

It's Napier Precision products we have a link on the Bleepinjeep website under member discounts

[@audiomonster303]

YES I DID HAMMERED RUSTOLEUM ROOF AND HOOD ON MY 99 POWERSTROKE AND ITS AWESOME YEARS LATER!!!!!! ROLLED ON!!!!!!

[@rowlinstoned3715]

I have a TJ and I just painted my hard top with black raptor liner and in a few weeks I plan on painting the entire jeep yellow raptor liner. I'm spraying mine out in the yard lol. But I think it'll turn out just fine. It just makes more sense to use that for an offroad Jeep. Looks awesome too! Urs turned out great!

[@fishing_with_chaz]

A cool trick with hardener is always use what the manufacturer says no matter the temp outside so at a molecular level it is correct and doesn't do weird stuff months down the road. If it's like 110 or so outside you can put the hardener in the fridge or freezer because if it thinks it's 30 degrees outside it will harden slower than if it thinks it's 110

[@johndecosta1467]

Awesome job Colt looks BadAss👍🏻

[@davidleslie1963]

Colt, after your interesting time doing gears with Hillbilly...you are my hero! Straight forward in explaining and great sense of humor. You earned my subscription!!! You have a fan here!

[@bleepinjeep]

Well thank you😎👍

[@mikemoore1821]

I've painted a Air Force shop truck with spray bombs, outside in Tucson AZ, summer '77. 3 of us 8hrs on gov time.

[@callsigncustard6419]

Hey i know its a while later but how many gallons did this take? If you said in the video and I missed it my bad. Looks awesome i want to do this to my ZJ

[@mrwilly66]

I did a XJ about 10 years ago in bright red UV resistant. Forget the brand. Lasted very well and very durable. Looks great Colt, good job!

[@abnpthfdr2934]

Glad to see your work on Rat's Nest, it came out really good!!! As a JK owner, I can't wait to see what you do with the JK (in 2024), but I will wait...😅🤙🏻

[@avalonbear61]

Just out of High-school I had Chevy panel van that I turned into a camper inside. I used to to hunt out of so I and a friend raddle can painted it camo that would make a army truck envious, some years later a cousin died and I had to make a trip south to the funeral. Those family members that were riding along with me were not impressed by having to go to a funeral in Camo hunting truck. After taking some heat from my Mother I went to Lowe's and got all the stuff needed to roller paint the van. Egg shell exterior latex looked great and it lasted for several years.

[@CountryAndClassics]

You just gave Me a good idea for doing a part of My car, Colt. Thumbs up!

[@bleepinjeep]

Glad I could help!

[@groomnzoom7860]

I rollered my box truck. I thought it was going to look terrible while it was dyring. But once it cured it was beautiful, and it has been like three years now it still looks great.

[@rspurdie]

Looks awesome! Great job on the prep. That’s really key and something that even though I spent a lot of time on myself, I wish I had spent even more time. Also for sure the layers looked like it helped a lot. Another thing I wish I had done more of on my rig haha.

[@ben67jeepster]

Roller all the way! That's how my daughter and I painted our Rock Crawler! Works great 👍

[@loum3733]

Greetings from the land of ice and snow (middle of Alaska) 😎☕️🥶 Yes, I have done roll-on bed liner to paint my 79 K5 Blazer. Main body black, sanded the fiberglass topper, painted the bed liner on it and rattle canned it green. I learned all body work from KZbin. It came out AWESOME!

[@patriot72]

Nice job! In 22:24 it looks like you’re sliding down a hill and the wheels aren’t moving lol. Great video, If I end up doing this paint I will show the results on our channel and let you know how it turns out. God Bless!

[@jeepindave5464]

I've done monstaliner on a tj. I sprayed it but it's mainly rolled. They have a lot of colors and its more of orange peel texture instead of sand paper. It cleans easier because it doesn't trap dirt in the pores.

[@Derf1313]

Decades ago I repainted my 73 K30 work truck with Rust-Oleum , thinned slightly with an expensive brush, then leveled it up with spray bombs in the same color. Came out rather nicely, lol. Great DIY for most, have thought about those liner paints, certainly will wear well. & prep is the difference in quality work. Thanx !

[@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports]

Colt is now a Body guy!! 🤪

[@twrxzuks]

Your Jeep looks radio active! Great idea, I might have to roll my truck! Thanks for making a tedious job look fun. You are a super funny guy! Thanks for being yourself! It was great to meet you at the wrecker games, I appreciate the time you took to chat. Rats nest looks great inside and out! It would be cool to see you wheel with Matt in the banana.

[@bleepinjeep]

Thanks, yeah we need to get the cherokees together for sure!

[@ludercoarms]

I painted the hood of my 1969 IHC Scout with semi gloss black bed liner and a roller. I used Monstaliner and it turned out perfect, just the way I wanted. I plan on doing my Cherokee with OD green eventually. Great job!!

[@trento8397]

😂😂😂

[@northwestoff-roadopportuni7176]

Awesomeness man! Next time a good tip is to use 1/4” rope behind the rubber moldings. Great job!

[@moabwheeling1305]

Rats Nest looks awesome Colt . I love the color you chose . I think I'm going to order the same hood vents that you used from Napier. As far as wrecking yards go , I do the same as you , I pull fuses and light bulbs and also wiring and relays for my stash . Take care my friend and catch you on your next video.

[@bleepinjeep]

Awesome thank you!

[@freeidaho-videos]

That reminds me of painting my motorcycle tank when I worked in a motorcycle shop. My mechanic peers called it a half-mile tank. I said no, it isn't for a half-mile race bike, it is for my trials competition bike. They said I was confused, that the paint job looked good from half-mile away. ;) I have a 99 XJ too, and have wanted to make the bottom half red. This may be the way to do it. Thanks, it does help make it seem possible only my garage is full of machinist tools, so it will be outside this summer. It is a good thing you are big like a Clydesdale. Hoods are hard. Gas door should be green... Nice drone footage!

[@lestaylor3641]

Love the jeep and thats my favorite green Colt. Im looking into getting my first jeep. Just a trail rig . I found a yj in great condition and its white and i may do the paint just like what you did. Great work and thanks for the great videos..

[@doughamm5590]

Thanks. That gave me a idea to do on my Durango when get the body work done. Won't have to worry about the door dings and shopping cart scratches on the paint. Ty. Looks damn good.

[@TheCajunGaijin]

Looks like the Napier website doesn't work anymore. Shame because the hood vent was super interesting to me for my FZJ80.

[@SlowRideCo.]

Looks amazing Colt great job and I too believe if you take the time to prep the results can be much better than expected

[@bleepinjeep]

Yes it does make a huge difference!

[@elesjuan]

Love the color you picked for this. Obnoxious and looks great! About your jk..... No offense, but have zero interest in any videos on a jk. Sorry.

[@Nanan00]

I rolled on raptor liner on my 85 C10 in the bed and interior of the truck 5 years ago, it still looks good.

[@mjc8248]

Raptor liner holds up really well. We use it a lot and it does great even with shoddy prep.

[@davidwayne9982]

To answer your title- NO , Ihave never done that--- but I MIGHT-- and I LIKE that lime green!! PUt some black accents and that would be PERFECT!!! I'm looking at DIPPING mine...- (dip isn't "paint" but covers and can be peeled off later if it gets ripped or you don't like it)...and it comes in the "color changing" stuff too!!!

[@slowcountryboy476]

"JEEPS are never done" I think I'll make a placard or maybe write that on a cardboard to read out loud next time I'm hatin' working on my CJ. I am have been repairing others' dangerous repairs. I F*CKING HATE CARELESS DANGEROUS REPAIRS!!

[@bigzoffroad]

Also, i had the same hood vents on my XJ. Dammit i miss that Jeep! Napier’s products are high quality for sure

[@lol123321123321]

Wd-40 isn't "lube". Use a PTFE spray lubricant for heim joints. Most quality heim's use a Teflon type liner. Essentially don't need any lubrication at all. However of you are gonna lube them use Teflon lubricant or ptfe.

[@Jeffersonsonsadventures]

Funny, we actually did that exact color, on my buddies XJ about 20 years ago. And yes we even used a roller 🤣

[@RegularJohntv]

Yes me and my uncle painted and old ford truck pink. I mean, real pink lol with a roller lmao. I was about 14 I think. It was awesome lmao

[@lestaylor3641]

Colt this week i may be buying my first jeep. A 1990 xj with a 6 inch lift psc steering chrysler 8.25 rear dana 30 front lockers at both ends. My first project will be manual hubs in the front to save driveline components and it has a bedliner paint job in white and may turn blue. 👍👍✌

[@ChuckHickl]

Almost, almost. One more wiggle and those things would have shucked right off you! 😂

[@magnithejeep1865]

my brother and i roll painted a 1965 belair station wagon ... flat black....painted the rear quarter widows too.....

[@robertfrey3607]

My dad had a 1975 impala wagon that he painted flat white with a roller. Everything except the lights, tires and the windows. Every time it started to rust, he would just slap on more paint. The car probably weighed 200lbs more than original. None of my friends in high school believed me, so I drove it to school and made $20 on bets.

[@bigzoffroad]

On my first XJ i did a roller paint job on my hood, and the bottom half of the Jeep below the accent line. Went on no issue, and held up as long as i owned the thing

[@snakeskinproductions7500]

Speaking of "Hippy vans". Had a friend back in the 70's that had an old flat nose chevy van that he glued astro turf to. Big long flat panels, he just made some card board patterns and spayed the truck with adhesive. Don't know how long it lasted but it looked pretty ok and defiantly different...🤓

[@daved2783]

I've done several rolled paint jobs on rusty old looking vehicles. I use implement paint from a farm store. Always looked better and that stuff is tough and cheap, probably not raptor tough but tough, many color options.

[@AudioFreqx]

Did our XJ in white bedliner via roller in 2020. came out great. Using Raptor; You can add about 10% reducer to help it self-level much more than that did. We put on two coats with no tint then 3 coats with white tint.

[@GeorgeStolz]

Son of a biscuit! I just changed my wireless module out because I lost the original controller, just to discover that there actually IS a way to program the Badlands ones off the shelf. Dang it!

[@everready19373]

Back in the day, we used to use a thing called a cheese grater to remove a lot of the filler. Then there wouldn't be nearly as much sanding. Painting the edges first is called "cutting it in". Maybe you should have painted it orange, it sure has orange peel. It sure is original though. Your wheeling buddies will be able to spot you 15 miles away.

[@davidashley2719]

Actually.... my first jeep was an old CJ5 that was originally black. An old farmer had it parked in a field with a for sale sign on it for over a year with no takers... his 2 daughters asked if they could paint it, so he handed them a gallon of school bus yellow paint and 2 paint rollers. I was driving past his farm and saw a yellow jeep from across the field with a for sale sign... I owned it the same day!

[@bruceleonard81]

My dad had a 1975 Chevy van. We peeled the paint off primed it kind of and roller ed the paint on heavy. It took a half gallon. At 30 ft it looked great up close not so much

[@ryangrierson7936]

And yes sir I do actually really like the paint job looks fucking awesome dude Fucking looks killer and the paint a vehicle with a roller ain’t nothing wrong with that man Let’s go easy with the paint it can look beautiful actually

[@jakesmith488]

I've never done a whole vehicle with a roller but I did the inside of the tub of my Jeep with a roller. I jst used an off brand of POR then herculiner. Prep is key. Havnt had to touch it since.

[@Starman1016Adventures]

Now I am heading to Harbor Freight to get that dent puller., A few weeks ago my jeep decided to take a nap on tne Maze. Dented up my rear corner and smashed corner of hard top. We finished the day wheeling afterwards

[@DependableAutoTruck]

great job i have a 1994 ram 2500 4wd think i will paint it the same way looked great its white now

[@StormLaker]

I once painted my old Ford Explorer Sport with International Red tractor paint in my driveway using a harbor freight paint sprayer and a borrowed air compresor.

[@chrisirwin9612]

There's A bar in the UP, just past Sault Ste. Marie, called Pickles, and they have a Jeep green like that.

[@paulwest2575]

I am being honest, using bedliner paint and the color green has to be the worst looking paint job I have ever seen. "The emperor isn't wearing any clothes".

Years ago my brother painted a Cherokee for my niece. He used the then new tintable rhino liner paint (orange) He was just going for the no muss finish …she fell in love with it and was upset when he decided to sell it

[@paulsimpson9286]

Yeah you painted it with a roller but it's not a complete job till you pin stripe it with a magic marker, don't ask me how i know :)

[@forestfaller4412]

nice one... not bad for a roller job! lol.. Ive sprayed a few.. where abouts in the black hills are ya.. was lookin more southern hills area

[@Tysmopars69]

No but I have seen a guy do it and at the end it looked like you sprayed it with the best paint and clear coat it was amazing but it wasn’t the bed liner style it was just paint and I really want to try it on my next project or hell my daily driver I would roll it on I don’t see why anyone would judge, looks great and hey I thought you were married

[@andrewforte]

Back in the 70s I helped dad paint a car with Rustoleum and a foam brush. Have never tried a roller.

[@dirttales]

Yours turned out a lot better than the roll on job I did a decade ago!

[@blakeguidroz]

Did you use a rough surface roller? I wanna do my truck in it but I don't want it as textured as that I'd want it semi smooth

[@rjm7168]

If you want to paint cars for living, you'd better love sanding.

That is really close to the color I am painting my motorcycle lol. However I'm having somebody else do it

FYI cheap ear plugs make good plugs for bolt/screw holes, and they are easier to remove than the hardware. Just don't lose your bolts 👍🏻

Hay a good way to clean the wiper arm stems or studs ?? Is to use a battery terminal brush works quite well.
