Paint job or line x?

[DuckDogTrainer]

Been working on my new jeep and it is ready for a paint job. Minor rust in a few areas so I'd like to do this soon. I plan to go to the beach and use it for hunting. I know that a shiny paint job looks great but I am afraid I am going to put it through a lot and scratch it up. However even though I like the line x coated ones I'm afraid I will loose any resale value. Jeep is a 1984 renegade.

I am thinking of doing it on my toyota tacoma but the price I got I could get a few paint jobs done. I am going to see how much it would cost to get the equipment to do it.

I did a Sami once in Herculiner. It was easy and turned out great

I was quoted 850 for turn key on exterior and they put a few coats of clear over it to keep from fading. Small shop in Houston.

I have a truck like this and was quoted around $3,500 to bed liner the truck and camper. I want it in tan.

good question about resale. you may get more from someone in south Texas. thorn brush country. money saved on the car wash will ad up. it weighs a lot more than 6 mils of paint. so that will be more for gas. are you going to keep it for 10 years? if so then its a tool. treat it right and you have a tool.

Line x actually has a premium blend of material that is guaranteed not to fade May be worth checking into there is a line x shop on 45 and cypresswood that I use no issues on fading goin on two years now

I'll be lining the outside of my jeep in the next few weeks

Going tan on the outside

I have been around linex and rino shield for about 15 years now. none have faded more than 10% the coating reacts after it catalyzed in 1 second. so nothing will penetrate as a sealer/topcoat. it is in fact sealed rubber. I would not do this as a diys thing.

Nice CJ.

Repainted Cj's always look repainted and cheap to me.
And rhino, herc and the rest the bedliners applied to the exterior of the vehicle don't add value, they kill it and ensure that Jeep can't be properly restored or preserved. Don't do it, brother.

Between rust and clowns with sawzalls, there are few good CJ's left.

My .02 is properly treat the rust, polish and wax what looks like factory paint and use it like you want to, beach, ranch, she can take it.

Gasmonkey garage for example, loves to polish and clear coat partially rusted classics and they look killer.

Good luck.

After much thought I think I'm going to have it painted. Going to keep the classic look! Thanks for the input!
