Cost to paint a TJ?

The cost is directly proportionate to the level of desired finish.
Another big factor as stated is the disassembly and reassembly.
Check out Marketplace as you will likely find pros painting on the side.

Light scratched in the clear coat can be buffed out. The hood will probably have to be sanded and resprayed with at least clear coat.

Ahhh you may be right
Ive been looking at the TFL truck video on spraying bedliner and it seems vary cheap and practical. Kevlar looks like its a tad bit more professionally, so yeah maybe it was Kevlar. Ive always had my truck beds Line-X sprayed and they amaze me to their VERY longterm durability
This young man did an older Tacoma for $300
Seems far more practical for an off road vehicle that sees abuse Vs some shine that you gotta maintain and polish. Esp for those of us up in snowpocalypse areas with road salt to contend with
I paid 1200usd to repaint my top from black to tan and my upper door to match with a pro. It would have been more if the top and the upper were not detachable for sure!
For the rest of the car If you want a real spray like factory shit that will last as if you bought a brand new car it’s around 7000-9000 usd. Don’t laugh I don’t make the prices

HVLP sprayer and 6 coats

They have new rear hinge hardware cheap.

In English this time
I only saw his +1 (black to tan) with a -1 (tan to black)
You can find a tan top anywhere you can find paint
Easiest beginner job ever, get r dun
If you are serious, then you haven't been paying attention.

Love the Rotti pup in the back...oh the TJ is nice as well.
I sprayed mine at home with Custom coat. I talked to them over the phone and they indicated their product was the same as the raptor liner.

I watched a ton of videos and I wanted the finish very fine but I kept reading how it didn't hold up as well as a normal spray. There is a company here in town that does amazing work and even some of their spray on products look very smooth. The only problem with that is they charge about the same as getting the jeep painted like normal.

Like everyone has said already, 99% of the work was prep even on a bedliner job. I removed everything I could remove off the jeep and sanded and spray painted the bumpers, armor, sliders,... It was a lot of work but I'm pleased with how it came out.
