Notices
JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

What was done to your JK this week?

Here are the promised pics.
I'll post real ones once I get all the trim back on and take it out in the sun.

Lol.
First, it says 7.
Second, that's 4+ coats everywhere, 1 more heavy coat in areas that are visible with the seats in, then I used 1 more can (#7) to unify and texturize the whole thing.
I scuffed everything with a wire cup brush in a pneumatic drill before spraying.
Didn't tape off anything.
Actually purposefully blew dust and grit on it while tacky before last coat to give it rougher texture.
I'm very pleased.

Yeah. I was surprised at how much product was in there.
I normally use Duplicolor, and really like it...but Lowes only carries Rustoleum. It seems like a Rustoleum can goes a lot further, and sprays very evenly, since it has a nicer nozzle. It's also around $2 cheaper per can.
I like the duplicolor better for texture though...I may even texture it more with the duplicolor later. We'll see how this turns out.
