Just started building ours, father/son project. What type of paint (single stage, clearcoat, enamel, oil based, etc ) did you use and where did you get it? You did great job….you should be proud.

Try your local auto parts store with a paint department. The correct color is Sand Beige Poly. Its a non-gloss paint.. so single stage with no clearcoat would work well. Good luck on your Jeep!

hey i’m so glad i found your website, i’m currently an active duty service member serving in Hawaii with the United States Army. I’m contacting this site cause I finally bought a 97 tj and I want to make it into a Jurassic Park jeep. Know I know the “real” model jeep which was used was a YJ, but the 97 tj was the last year jeep my Dad owned before he pasted away and why turn it into the Jurassic Park jeep cause that as my Dads and I’s favorite movie. So i was wondering if there was anyone that would be willing to give me tips, advice, and product knowledge of what I need to turn my tj into a Jurassic Park jeep.
