Hey the paint job looks pretty good. Especially for an outside job.

Looks great. Holy crap, you weren't kiddin' about the old paint peeling off. :-) I used some Rustoleum "hammerite" kind of paint on my wheels so I know what you mean about the texture. Looks sharp!

Yeah I've heard it called that. Although I don't think that's really a good description it looks kinda like peened metal. Stuff takes forever to cure.

It has some warts. Overspray in a couple spots, and some sag spots on the grill where I should have removed the front bumper to get better spray angles. But the paint has so much texture that it just doesn't catch your eye like it would if it were normal 2 stage high gloss with a clear coat.
The key thing though is It'll never really be washed and waxed. I'll slap one coat of wax just to buffer the paint from the elements while it's in the last stages of curing but after that it's only getting hosed off.

Thanks, I preped by peeling all the second paint job off, used 3m wax remover on the original paint, whiped down with xylol, then sanded in three stages 120, 80 and 60 grit. I sand blasted the rust spots. I don't know if I really needed the final 60 grit scuff, but leaned in favor of too much being better than not enough. Final step was a wipe down with tack cloth.

That battleship grey looks a lot better than that blue that the Jeep was. Huge improvement. I wonder if black hinges might not have looked pretty good too. Anyway, nice job!!
