What does a decent paint job cost??I had her painted 3 years ago. Gave her a bath, and the paint looks nice. The OEM jewelry looks very nice if I say so myself....

In Houston, Tx I paid $3500.00. The seller sold me the FJ40 on primer and absolutely no rust or body work to be done!What does a decent paint job cost??
This is truly a horrible job. I am starting to reflect on my choice of sand blasting this myself.
With that said, I recalled an episode @BenjaminCA where he used a drill and a long round stock to make a channel sweep. I got some nylon round brushes from Amazon and welded it on an 6’ length of round stock and went to town on the inner frame. Worked well on the areas where there wasn’t any DIY frame coating from PO. I got a long screw driver and removed the chunky stuff.
For the sand blaster, I’ve done all the mods and I am using coal slag or black sand from Menards. The blaster is temperamental, but it works.

I am far from an expert on p/s but I never needed to do any of that on my Saginaw p/s Landcruiser. Box is low and pump is above it...Bleeding is critical on these systems.
Also leaks can cause air bubbles and air bubbles can cause noise.
Once you're 100% certain that your leaks are fixed lift the front end and turn it lock to lock 10 times.
Let it sit until the bubbles float out.
Do this a few times.
Start the engine and do it again.
Waiting 10 minutes between rounds to let the bubbles float out.
Bubbles when run through a hydraulic pump create cavitation which eventually causes noise.
There's probably a sheet that comes with the pump which gives the bleed procedure. Don't skip it.
We saw the film today, very cool!Wife and I went to Mission Impossible...no spoilers, but there's a scene with two vintage Land Cruisers...and the bad guys drive Jeeps.![]()
