This is a little write up for painting the plastic parts of a jeep. My guinea pig was a 98 Grand Cherokee.





The most important tools that are needed are a scotchbrite pad and an ammonia based cleaner. Windex with ammonia D is my choice. The paint used was Krylon Fusion Satin black rattle cans. I used 4 cans on this project but was wishing I had a 5th



Start by scrubbing all the surfaces down with these two products, and wiping dry.



The beauty of the ZJ body is that all of the plastic is held on with clips. The door cladding all snaps off by grabbing the bottom and yanking it off. It just hangs on the top part of the clips.



Just be careful on the back doors. Before you give that tug on the bottom you will need to open the door and look for this little guy. It is the one and only piece of actual hardware on the doors, and requires a 10mm socket to get it off.



The front bumper requires removing the signal and marker light , and breaking some rivets, but again, for the most part just a bunch of clips to remove.



The rear bumper has 2 bolts behind the tail lights, and then again a bunch of clips. The bumper just slide straight out toward you after all the fasteners have been removed.



Don't let all these part intimidate you. All of this plastic can be taken off in less than a half hour.

After everything is dried and snapped back in place you will end up with something like this.
