|
|
Hey guys Im currently sanding, sandblasting, doing body work and and trying to have this jeep ready to paint come spring. I am thinking about doing a LINE-X type of application on the inside just for durability and protection. Of course would be in the olive drab color. Has anyone else done this ? Im wanting to keep jeep looking as original as I can just wandering and getting you guys thoughts and opinions as to where this would be a bad idea or not

Hi Martin,
I have had linex done on the underside of my new tub, as well as in some of the typical problem areas such as under the has tank, in the cowl battery box, taillight housings, tool box, and wheel wells. The colour matching came out quite nice and I'm very happy with the finished product. There are pictures in my build thread over in the projects section. _________________ Jordan

Thanks Hawkshadow for the info. I took a look at your project thread WOW what a project . Jeep is looking very nice . The line-x looks good and the color match was spot on. I am probably gonna end up spraying the whole inside. Going to do a little more research, just to make sure there are no cons to doing it.
Thanks,
Martin _________________ MARTIN 1953 M38A1 |

I did the inside of my tub with a rubberized "bed liner" that has the little rubber bits in it... I'm not a fan of the textured look really, but it'll do for now and protect the tub for a few years I'm sure. It looks fine to the rest of the world but to guys like us it just looks off.... If I had some with out the textured junk in it I'd love to do the underside of the tub out of the main eyesight. _________________ Aaron Ray

You can get a small idea of how it looks:

Looks a lot like undercoating used on top! Would look a bit better if the color was closer to OD2430. No matter how you look at it (driver, motor pool, hunting jeep or rat rod) it doesn't really look that good. There are a lot more coatings that look much better. A correctly OD2430 painted inside and out tub with cut rubber mats would offer the same level of utility. _________________ Wes K

I agree, I used that coating because I had 2 gallons of it that were given to me and no gallons of OD2430 ha ha. It'll work for a little while. If it wasn't textured I'd spray over it 2430, but I don't like the texture junk _________________ Aaron Ray

You can use JB Weld to fill those crack in the steering wheel. Just put in a layer and smooth as best you can, then let it cure as long as possible before going back with another coat. Once it is high enough just sand it with finer and finer paper until you get it where you want. Prime and paint.

I think I saw you doing that and thought "that's a great idea to save a hundred bucks" I'm planning on doing it when I get back from over the pond _________________ Aaron Ray

After you get all the cracks repaired, try Krylon Fusion paint for plastic, it seems to hold up better. _________________ Chuck W.
