No it wasn't. I have used Scotch Brite for many, many years and never heard it referred to as a "green scrubby"...

Nice job! Looks great.

Thanks, I have been wanting to do some krylon painting for some time. Keep us updated on how it lasts.

This is the second time i painted them not because they needed it but because when i first did them all krylon made was a gloss paint in its fusion paint line and now it makes a satin and i redid it in that. I painted them the first time 4yrs ago and they held up fine the only thing I noticed was that the sand kicked up from the road started to blast off the paint on the lower leading edge of the rear flares so I put a clear plastic film stone guard on it this time to help stop that. see picture.

Sorry about the scrubby thing I worked on submarines before and that's what we used to call them for short.

That looks real good! Really makes the whole Jeep look a lot better and cleaner!

Cool. I've worked with many, many Navy nukes. Electronic techs mostly, but a few officers as well. Some of the best and brightest technicians anywhere in the world. Period.
