Dude that thing looks super clean!
What kind of paint did you use and what kind of method did you follow?
And did you do that with a Spray gun?

I used a cheap siphon fed sprayer. its not the best but it worked. I just sanded off the peeling clear coat and scuffed up the rest. Masked real well. I used walmart spray can bedliner on the trim and flares. I don't remember what kind of paint (it was left over from somebody else's project). it was from a paint shop though. If I ever do it again I will do it indoors so make sure no bugs or dust land on it. It probably took 10+ hours doing prep and painting.

My old XJ. Nothing special, just two-tone, no clear coat. My dad painted it for me back when I got it.
