TJ Paint
 

Is it me, or is the factory paint job on my Jeep shoddy? I've got
scratches on the hood from when I washed it a few months ago at a car
wash. The scratches came from the foaming brush. This morning I noticed
a scratch under the windshield. It came from my clearing snow from the
hood.
The reason I ask is that my '91 YJ has hardly any scratches on it,
and while I didn't run it through any carwashes for at least the first
six years, I did use a foaming brush. NO SCRATCHES. Twelve winters
later, after using anything from ice scrapers to push brooms, still NO
SCRATCHES.
Has anyone here noticed the same thing?

Re: TJ Paint
 

Same luck here. My 90 YJ had much better paint. My 02 TJ has several flaws,
especially where there are joints. Like fender to body lines and cowl to
fender, etc. My hood has chips like nothing I've ever seen. Scratchs are
mostly my fault, but seam mistakes and chips are annoying.

I figured mine was painted late on a Friday afternoon or something.

Good luck, Cw

My 99 has excellent paint - really durable. However, the photos of Nathan's
Rubicons were shocking .. really really poor quality.

Yea, I remember when Nathan brought up the issue of the bad paint job
on his Rubicon. I didn't see the photos, but after seeing the way that
the paint can easily scratch, I can imagine.
