So I've been running around taking care of other things, and even though I've had my parts for a month now I finally got around to painting them.
I used some low VOC paint I got in california(which is where I painted the fender the first time), this is weird stuff, has a odd smell, but not much of a smell compared to a urethane or acrylic. What I like about this paint(and also what I don't like) is that it doesn't set up very quickly. Which makes it a little longer to spray something, but when you do finish your final coverage coat and have good color on everything, you let it sit, and 20 mins later it glosses over nicely.
Then an hour later its still too tacky to handle. After about 1.5 hours I moved the parts out into the sun to let them cure. I will let the parts cure overnight and then again in the sun tomorrow before installing them thursday morning. With fresh paint when you apply pressure(like when trying to get a fender to go into place) you can leave imprints if it hasn't cured 100%.
Your paint job looks professional. Excellent job. But the damage I saw on the Jeep ... maybe there was something I missed, but I wouldn't have swapped the fender. I've called the PDR (Paintless Dent Repair) guy for my ZJ, XJ and Dodge. XJ door got squished between trees & he fixed it for 200 bux, 45 mnutes work, good as new, you can't tell. It's a great system. And with your painting skills you probably could have fixed/blended the spot on top. Just saying ...
Regardless, that's the best home grown paint job I've ever seen.
