That turned out fantastic. Wow, definitely going this route with my project.

💎RAD SHARE! THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SHOW OUR COMMUNITY ALTERNATIVES TO THE TYPICAL PAINT JOB FOR A CUSTOM BUILD! BRAVO!

Nice job! Curious....what did you use to clean up the gun and sprayer after using the Seel It?

Some people have had issues with the stainless showing rust in salt air environments. Have you seen this?

@RecoilOff-Road

never had an issue with that and I take mine to the beach often. Id guess that those people are likely under coating and not prepping the surface thoroughly. That is key to creating a proper bond with the stainless and the parent material.

I like it. Look forward to the completion!

DONE ONCE.... 🤣🤣🤣 U know how that goes. Jeeps are never DONE

Story of my life! It aint done unless its been done 3 times minimum!

How consistent is the product when spraying. Does it separate or show spray marks since it’s stainless like a metallic?..

Why didn’t the body shop put the bracing back in on your rear floor? Also with that type of paint sprayer you loose a lot in the hose.

I ask myself why the body guy did and didn't do a lot of things lol. Lesson learned that if you want something done right, do it yourself. I added 2 channels that go across the rear floor for support. If I were to use it again Id invest in a high quality professional gun. while I got great coverage, I would have liked to see the paint atomize a little more. I had plenty of paint so I wasn't too concerned with the minimal amount of loss from the hose. there is more lost in overspray than in the hose. It still turned out great so im happy with the results

awesome job! can you paint right over it without putting down a layer of primer?

@RecoilOff-Road

I’m sure you could. The finish for most is good enough to not paint over but if your looking for another actual paint color/finish you should probably use a sandable primer. I’d test a small piece first but I haven’t used a different paint over steel it so I can’t say for sure.

How many gallons of paint did you use on this project?

what were the issues you had with the aluminium wheel arches?

What body shop did you take the body to?

Because I had issues with them and the quality of work was definitely an issue I won’t be recommending them or dropping their name. It was a very small shop run by 1-2 people that I heard good things about, turns out not to be so true.

That Steel It is good shit, but you are still a lot better off grinding any of it away in a spot you have to weld. Yes, you can weld through/over it, but technically, you can weld through regular paint, too. But your weld will look like shit, and it will be spattering all over as you weld. And you’re going to get inclusions in your weld. That Steel It isn’t pure stainless steel. It has the urethane and other non-metal ingredients in it. If you’re in a spot where you can grind the stuff off, you should. It looks great though, and seems to be really durable. I’m going to get a gallon myself.

You know, I won’t disagree with you. Your right, it’s better to have a completely clean surface to weld to and the more variables you can control the better the outcome. Now that being said, welding through regular paint and welding through steel it is definitely a night and day difference. No it’s not pure stainless so the polyurethane base definitely burns, the big difference is that it burns through much cleaner than regular paint does. It’s incredibly tough after it’s cured and I can honestly say that I would trust a weld structurally welded through steel it. Is it as perfect as welding through properly prepped and cleaned metal? No it’s not, but it makes welding in any other situation incredibly easy. 🤙🏼

@@RecoilOff-Road I do a lot of TIG welding, and you would 100% have to grind it off for that. But for MIG, yeah, I guess if I couldn’t grind because of a tough spot (or if I was being lazy) I would rather weld through the Steel It. For my TJ, I only TIG small parts that might be critical. Most of my welding on my Jeep I have MIGed. I am making a lot of stainless parts for my Jeep, if only for the fact I have a lot of it laying around left over from other jobs. I TIG that stuff. I made my frame control arm brackets out of 1/4” stainless angle. I’m also making my long arms from some stout 2” od 1/4” wall stainless tube. I got a killer deal on a 20 foot piece. Im looking forward to your build. It looks like you are going full-out and not cutting corners. When you’re done, it will be even better than a brand new Jeep!

@@zenlandzipline Oh for sure with TIG!!! I haven't dove into that yet, still really working on getting as much trigger time as possible to work on getting my MIG lines to be consistent. Thanks for the feedback, the first build defiantly had corners cut that I didn't realize till I learned better but you got to go through the process right?!
