That could be an option Chris... I have some of that stuff around here somewhere. I may do a test shot on some scrap metal and compare the consistency. I wonder if the rocker guard has any chemical resistance properties (ie: to battery acid)?

Finally laying down some primer today. The body shop mixed me up some epoxy primer with an OD green tint.

Days off
I'm planning on taking the next few days off to get some painting done.
For all of the body parts, I have used an epoxy primer. I really like it, vs red oxide. I wanted to put down a super durable base coat to protect everything for many years. So my base coat of paint on everything is a high quality epoxy paint that is closely matched to the semigloss OD (but it's a bit more glossy). All inner surfaces of the body and engine compartment will then get an over coat of the proper semigloss OD (from BCA) as a finish color. The exterior of the jeep will be finished in the three color camouflage pattern from the 70's & 80's (I'll post the details of the paint used for that later).

Clean up
I still have a few boxes of the "smalls" to clean up and paint too... not to mention all the bolts, nuts and things like footman loops.

If you have any spares of those Ramsy 50R smalls, I would happily take one off your hands.
Before you spray Brians paint, I should let you know that I have had success with a NAPA enamel hardener when spraying with Brian's paint and with the gillespie paints. It will toughen up the interior semi gloss, but may make the exterior flat colours a little too shiny.

That's very good to know Rob. Looks like I'll be making a trip to Napa today. I do want that coating to be as durable as possible, so the hardener will be added. I have already sprayed the bottom side, and I really like working with Brian's paint. It made me smile too.
 If I trip over any other 50r's I'll be sure to let you know!
