HA!! By the time I get done with this thing I'll be able to write a "Jeep Headache Manual" and make a million $$$!!!!
By the way....Great TR quote!!!
For painting aluminum I wipe it down with vinager (acts as an acid wash), wipe off with acetone then use zinc chromate primer. Spray multiple light (dusting) coats till covered, then paint. Don't know about liner coatings. I do know it is very important to make aluminum is clean. Did I mention "clean the aluminum"? Good luck!
Old enough to know better, too young to quit!
Devildog,
I heard somewhere you had to clean the aluminum really good!! HA!!
Never heard of the vinager as an acid wash...I'll keep it in mind. Right now I'm wire wheelin' anything that shines!! Hope to finish up the underside prep and get the transmission installed this weekend. RE
brake clean
Go Navy!!
