Might be best to get the top, they may have changed to a slightly different zipper.
I’ve got the first coat of high build primer on. I’ll block it out and see if I need another coat tomorrow!

Good job. I do mine a final primer coat before I introduce the top coat. This way the primer just freshly flushed before it meets the color coat. What's the top coat color you decided?

That is a lot of man-hours spent. When it is all said and done.... only then you have time for the wife (or girlfriend).
Looking very good! Tough lesson to learn, but a good one. Reckon he’s learned a thing or 1,000 about body work

I'm sure he has and about a month before he gets some finger prints back too hehe...
Nice work on the re-build though....better than new
Did the final block and finished up with 600 grit. Just a few odds and ends to take care of and I should be painting by Sunday!

It’s damn strait!! Except for the front fenders, which I didn’t kill myself on as they’re being replaced with tire fenders in the fall.

I finally got the body right, I bought $720 worth of ppg paint products, turned the garage into a paint booth, even built a paint rack. I woke up bright and early this morning, spent 4 hrs masking and prepping the Jeep only to have my primer sealer FISH EYE!! Fish eye everywhere!![emoji35][emoji35] time to sand it down, figure out where my contaminant is, and give it another go. Unfortunately family vacation begins next week and there is no time[emoji22]I guess this will be my first summer without my Jeep, in 14 yes.

Nooooo !! I feel for ya, nothing worse than doing all then prep and then that happening to your paint finish....so was it grease or oil or something?

That is not grease, it's air bubble. You sprayed the first pass too thick. Do not be in a hurry for the colored paint. Just give it a mist, a very even mist that you can still see the primer through it. then wait for 45 min. to an hour (max), then go for the next mist coat.
Wax and grease remover is designed to float the contaminants to the surface. It's important to use clean, lint free disposable towels. wipe on wet, and remove wet with a 2nd clean towel. Don't be shy with the towels. Remember, you're trying to remove the contaminants from the surface, not smear them around.

What da??? Painting just needs a dish soap and warm water to clean the surface. Whoever advised you to use a tar - wax remover needs a paddle in the butt.
