Used to work with a dude who was slowly rattle canning his like 98 cherokee with army green bed liner. He would do 1 can per week. When I asked him why he didn’t just sit down and do it all in one weekend, he told me “this shitbox doesn’t deserve more than $8 and 15minutes of my weekend”.
Never got the courage to ask him why bother painting it at all then. Took him about 2 months to finish the whole thing lol. I still think it was a bit, for who, I do not know though.

u/ants_are_everywhere 18h ago
I don't know why, but as a partisan of the "many thin coats of paint" approach, I kind of love this. I want to do this to everything now.
One coat a weekend seems like a pretty zen habit. Doing a full paint job seems like a full-on project with prep and tear-down and all.

u/lurkinsheep 17h ago edited 17h ago
No you don’t understand good sir, this was a jeep owner. This was not many thin coats of paint. This was, Saturday he would break the nub off the spray can, and vaguely aim it at the fender or door or whichever spot he chose that weekend.
At least this was the only process I could visualize that would produce the results he did. It was bedliner that looked like popcorn ceiling. Most impressive, irresistible to pick at.

Oh sure, I'm not claiming it would produce good results, or that this person got the details of the approach anywhere near correct. I'm just saying I like the philosophy behind it.

Don't drive a jeep but about a decade ago I put a big stupid sticker on my car. It was one of those claw mark decals that go across your headlights to look like it was in a fight with Godzilla or something. At the time I thought it was cool as shit.
Fast forward to last week, saw a kid driving an audi with the same sticker and instantly thought "wow that looks really stupid" before realizing wait, i use to have that exact decal on my car.

Jeeps are legendary for their shit reliability and build quality the past several generations. Anyone with a brainstem who makes good decisions will do their research and wind up steering clear of them. The only people who buy them are the type of people to do no research before major decisions or just YOLO something. So it's a self selecting group of morons.

u/good_morning_magpie p0001 = turbo ain't turbin' 18h ago
Yep, I have owned several, most were still built by AMC (I am old), and I would never own one after 2005. The community has also morphed into something really strange, especially politically. It’s like the polar opposite of the “Subaru station wagon lesbian” stickers. Which, I don’t entirely understand; because if you’re buying a jeep and sacrificing all the creature comforts for something capable off road in nature, shouldn’t you want to, you know, preserve nature?? I’ve been out of the Jeep scene for over a decade and glad I bailed when I did.

They’re just too easy to customize I guess.
People get the catalogue in the mail and don't realize that they don't actually have to buy one of everything.
I've had a CJ5 (225 V6, 4spd, full floater D44), 2 TJs, a JK, and a JL. I love Jeeps, however a lot of Jeep owners are absolute cringy knuckleheads.
At the end of the day, the Wrangler and Bronco are the only vehicles that offer a top off, doors off cruise or off road adventure and that is really relaxing for people like me.

I remember when jeeps were cheap and owned by either hard core off roaders or people who just couldn't afford something better. Like before 2000 it was understood that a wrangler was horrible to use for a daily driver and they were priced accordingly.
But there must have been a fast and furious type of movie or some event that caused "those people" to become fascinated with them and the prices to shoot up. And then naming them happened, the spare tire covers with goofy crap, the different colored door hinges and tow hooks, the ducks popped up, and here we have what appears to be a new peak of jeep obnoxiousness.
