Bet You've Never Done A Paint Job Like This! - How To Roll On Car Paint

[@jeffwomack5821]

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. ♥

[@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.

[@poppinblisters8782]

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

[@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!

[@ben67jeepster]

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

[@audiomonster303]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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😎👍

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@DieselArcher]

“TORX” 😂 sorry I couldn’t resist. Nice job it looks awesome

[@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!

[@farleysmith4074]

That definitely is a green. Can’t be missed.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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 !

[@dochics1053]

I got car paint with a foam roller load it up,, and go for it,,,comes out smooth looks like a spray job.. 😂❤❤❤😊

[@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!

[@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.

[@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...😅🤙🏻

[@CountryAndClassics]

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

[@bleepinjeep]

Glad I could help!

[@dieseldirtdude]

ive always liked the neon green accents on everything, over the top colt, rats nest will now have many admirers!!!

[@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.

[@johndecosta1467]

Awesome job Colt looks BadAss👍🏻

[@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!

[@strykerentllc]

Nobody gonna talk about the 2 for $5 Eggo Waffle deal window masking? LOL A bit late to the party here but watching Colt in videos is like relaxing in the shade on a tepid summer day. The man is just chill and funny too! Cheers!

[@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.

[@stephensears7483]

Great work! Never tell anyone you know how to gear a front end - or paint a car with a brush...

[@dirttales]

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

[@suzannebert3652]

My brother and I roller painted our boat with car paint. 😅 It turned out great

[@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports]

Colt is now a Body guy!! 🤪

[@davestevens4263]

Hell yah brotha, love the color & I’ve always thought bed liner is great for a rock buggy / off roader . Tuff & easy to do . & you get extra credit for doing a roller paint job & filming it . 9 out of 10 !!!! Robby couldn’t of done it that nice . Bahaha that amazing fool puts me to shame , I’ve got 12 yrs of working in the field . When I first saw him pulling out the drip rail on the banana in Matt’s shop , before the major make over , I thought who is this young puggie kid , he knows his shit ! now I’m beside myself watching what he does .

[@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!

[@northwestoff-roadopportuni7176]

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

[@kityoung8029]

Looks great! Years ago, I used Rhino Lining on the lower, inside of my horse trailer. Sold the trailer 15 years ago, and as far as I know, it's still holding up.

[@sranger717]

I sure have paint rolled a truck before. Tractor supply single stage. Turned out pretty awesome.

[@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!

[@tonybissell8807]

I was about to paint my teardrop camper with this stuff until I saw this video in my feed a couple days ago. Did not like the aggressive texture he had, so I changed out my roller for 1/4" nap that is solvent resistant. Love it, it's like it was sprayed on now, love the product, did mine in emerald, green. You get about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs work time using a brush and roller. Definitely use a respirator, up to pulling tape and walking out. I need a roof fan in the future.

[@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.

[@chrisirwin9612]

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

[@rickcooper6817]

Looking good Colt! Should be able to find you in the dark now.

[@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

[@levicpatterson]

It was good meeting you all the other day! Thanks for the tips on my XJ (the FunJ). As always, good content. Levi

[@jamesplymire5342]

I was gonna do this to my 88 S10 4x4 back in 2006. ❤ Back in the 90s, I seen a Mustang that was painted entirely with rattle cans from a dollar store. Looked pretty good until you got real close. 😂 But he was happy with it.

[@mountainwestextremeoffroad4024]

That thing looks like Slimer from Ghost Busters!

[@johnbennett2748]

This video came out at a perfect time for me. I've watched a Bleepin Jeep video for every step on my XJ that I can't figure out myself. Colt and Matt are a perfect team. Keep Bleepin and Jeepin boys! 👍👍

[@bleepinjeep]

Thank you John, we do our best!

[@robsdeviceunknown]

I painted my truck with Raptor coat (same thing only name brand as you used). My kit came with air gun. I showed process on my channel. Was my first time and just STUPIDLY easy to do. Since then i have done it a few times for friends and got even better at it and learned a lot of secrets about it. Was worth the 350 buck investment with 3 quarts left over incase i smash a fender or something.

[@BryanCDaniel]

Painted 2 xj's with Monstaliner using rollers. Love it.

[@markbrownsell7443]

A friend of mine once painted a Nissan with black rustoleum. He used a foam roller and foam brushes. He did it outside on a calm day. It came out really good.

[@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

[@CJLane-62]

When I'm out wheeling and camping, I tend to want to Disappear and not stand out like your Cherokee will,I don't want to be seen from Saturn or Satellites, tend to want to be stealthy! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🥂😅,But that Paint job You just did Does look Great,to each his/her own so to say!👍👍🇺🇸

[@505xjk6]

Love the XJ my very first off road family station wagon..lots of Wheeling memories in and XJ..

[@aarongraff9801]

Got my limited time shirt and got it signed by the men themselves. Thx Colt and Matt.

[@bleepinjeep]

Thanks for stopping by😉👍

[@mikelazcano1310]

Do it bro! I soft brushed flat black your golden !!

[@Red_Beard_Builds]

Gotta love an XJ especially a green one!

[@dreamlinerkoa6438]

I can’t wait to see your take on the wrecker games 😂😅😅😅

[@Onecooliceman]

I have rolled painted and brushed my fishing truck, came out great

[@lar4305]

That truck looks Badass!!

[@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.

[@bobtucker8875]

I must say that looks really good 😊. Nice 👍👌 job.

[@magnithejeep1865]

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

[@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.

[@rightwingmanscott]

Great show. You gotta show us washing it off.

[@ChuckBruton]

I have a friend did that to his square body Bronco… looks good ( white )

[@jamesplymire5342]

❤ the Rats Nest's paint job!!

[@granitesand78]

looks fantastic! XJs are the best. great job!

[@bleepinjeep]

Thanks! 👍

[@papatomsthoughts]

Great off road paint job at a low cost. Awrsome

[@rmduda1]

Great color choice, badass looking jeep.

[@thephilosopher13]

Lookin like you move been working out Colt*. Lookin good! Edit: Accidentally clicked on this video a second time and I’m glad I did because autocorrect had me looking rude!

[@foygill711]

There is a tape with hard plastic edge on one side to hold the window seal away.

[@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.

[@archangel7673]

That's some funny shit! My brother painted his Dodge truck with white latex paint,using a brush

[@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.

[@DavidSmith-qs8rb]

I didn't think roll on bed liner would look that good I'm definitely doing it to mine

[@itsruffoutchea6636]

Seems like bright or lighter versions look better. The black versions are the ones where if you don't spray it or roll 3+ coats looka bad.

[@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.

[@Jeffersonsonsadventures]

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

[@dorsk84]

At my old job we rolled painted our small box truck's box black. With standard outdoor paint..... 10 year later the vinyl was pealing off and the paint looked fine.

[@DependableAutoTruck]

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

[@markszostak5808]

I did the roof of my 90 cherokee with Glidden oil based. Came out tectured and lasted quite a while being out in Arizona sun.

[@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]

😂😂😂

[@Element_Industrial]

Turned out pretty great! Good job man!

[@metaldog7128]

😍my Favourite colour 🟢 Kawasaki Green 💪😃

[@l.c.o.r2024]

never used a roller but i painted my 89 chevy with a wagner painter with metal barn paint lol,, looks great and easy touch up,,

[@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.

[@ben2687]

HAHA! Nice! I did a roll on bed liner on a blazer once. It turned out pretty decent. One tip I would suggest, depending on how you want the texture to be, use a foam roller so you don't have such a textured layer. It will go on smooth and then you typically don't have to worry about pieces coming off into the paint either.

[@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!

[@bullittdog4352]

Man that thing is bold..I’ve always wanted to do something in a Kawasaki green but never had the nerve!

[@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. 👍👍✌

[@bigzoffroad]

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

[@thousandoaksauto1696]

Hey Colt, I have a '95 XJ that I'm building & after watching this it didn't take long for me to figure-out how to paint my rig! Thanks for the info/help!!! Oh I do have extra part's.

[@bleepinjeep]

Awesome, glad I could help!

[@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...🤓

[@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!
