Just thought I'd say thanks; found this list while browsing Jeep sites (I'm more usually on the CJ3B page) but here in England we've started rebuilding a pile of rust that was once a '46 CJ-2A and I wanted to know what color the frame should be. I now have the answer! Yesterday we fitted a new rear crossmember to the frame.

Can anyone recommend an adequate 'rattle can' primer, gloss black and semi-gloss black that would work well for some of the many small parts that require those colors? ------------- leef 462a |

leef, I've had good success with Rustoleum brand paints, both rattle can and in quarts.

Before I get ready to reinstall my engine, I would like to repaint it in the factory rebuilt red. Does anyone know of a rattle-can color that will match? ------------- 1947 CJ2A http://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/1947-cj2a-reborn_topic18416.html - http://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/1947-cj2a-reborn_topic18416.html |

losttribe,
We folks here on the page put this list together over 2 years ago from the best information that we had available. It was a collective effort to record the paint on each part of a Willys. ------------- M38Mike 46 CJ2A SAMCJ2A 4?-5?

I beg to differ about the color of the gas cap. Every vintage photo that shows the cap shows that it was originally black. Body color caps were most likely the result of repainting and contemporary observations, Take a look at these http://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=5449" rel="nofollow - Reference Photos . Every gas cap that is visible is black. ------------- Sam 1946 CJ2A 15292 ACM 6678 1947 CJ2A 122031 ACM 111989 http://goo.gl/altFD" rel="nofollow - Are Glass Bowl Fuel Pumps OE? |

I don't see the transmission or transfer case listed, or the shifter canes, but I assume semi-gloss black? Thanx! ------------- GR8GPN2U! |

I am very happy with VHT Epoxy in Satin or Gloss Black. No primer required.

DUMB QUESTION......………..WHAT DOES THE MEAN NON SKID ON BRAKE AND CLUTCH PEDALS? THANKS Joe B. ------------- '46 CJ2A South Texas |
Posted By: Ol' Unreliable
Date Posted: 05 Aug. 2019 at 2:04am
Brake and clutch pedals had a non-skid paint on them: a paint with some kind of gritty stuff in it, for helping keep your feet from sliding off the pedals. Many has been the time when I wished Ol' Unreliable still had that paint there.  ------------- There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable |

Did not know this about the pedals. Makes sense. This might be a good alternative: https://www.summitracing.com/nv/parts/shw-baa2010/overview/" rel="nofollow - https://www.summitracing.com/nv/parts/shw-baa2010/overview/ I used it on my front floors to keep them from rusting. It has a bit of texture and is holding up well. Maybe a local shop can squirt them when they do someone's truck Micah ------------- 1947 CJ2A 106327, Engine J109205, Tub 97077.

There were NO rebuilt engines available through the Willys-Overland parts system. REPLACEMENT engines were painted red. Rebuilt engines available from many aftermarket sources could be any color, whatever the rebuilder wanted to use. BW ------------- It is NOT a Jeep Willys! It is a Willys jeep. Happy Trails!

Ol' Red runs a Sears Roebuck rebuilt engine and has for the last 50 years. The color the rebuilder chose was a sort of metallic greenish blue. I have left it the way it came out of the shipping crate. The head was a Kaiser Supersonic head and originally used head bolts. I changed those bolts to studs when I had the head off in 2015 to check the condition of the valve seats. ------------- 46 CJ-2A #64462 "Ol' Red" (bought April 1969)(second owner)(12 V, 11" brakes, M-38 frame, MD Juan tub) U.S. Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer(ret.)
