paint..

i guess this is mod tech

i have a 91xj limited with the clearcoat troubles most in this year range do.

any suggestions on sanding the jeep down and painting it? im thinking of using either the rattle can or buying a HVLP gun from northern/harbor freight and spraying it with a few coats.

if i set up a big ass fan in my garage door would it be an OK idea to spray it in my garage? i dont care too much about the paint, i just want it to look a little better than it does now. i dont want to pay anyone to do it if i can avoid it..

i just spray painted mine, it looks better than before, i used america something by rustoleum at 2 dollars a can, the whole thing cost me 80 bucks. i sprayed it in my garage, and had no fan. two tips i have: sand it well, and buy one of those handles that make a trigger to fit the can.
i used a cheap sander and it looks fine

I did my wifes car with spray can primer and wet-sanded it down to 600 grit and it was shining. I would probably do the same on my own car if it needed it. Just a thought.
