Been thinking about doing the entire exterior of the XJ in bedliner. The problem is, I can't decide on a color. I wanna keep the bumpers and flares black but not sure about the rest. Please help me decide. Sand, avacado green, brown, dark grey, dark blue, forest green, light blue, tan, cream, white, light grey, yellow, bright red, brick red, or orange?

Oh yeah, it's a daily driver with a three inch lift. Just tired or scratches and chips.

Choosing from those colors, I'd have to say that dark grey and black would probably look pretty good as a 2 tone combo

The bed of my Chevy Cummins was sprayed with blue tinted rhino liner a few years ago, and now it looks like crap. Faded, barely blue, more like the color of boiled meat. Most of the colored bed liners that I have seen look bad after a few years. I would go black. BTW my 2 door Cherokee has a 2 quart rustoleum semi-gloss $15 paint job, it looks good, is dirt cheap, and can be repainted in less than 1 hour. I bet most people could not tell the difference between it and a bedliner paint job, and the bedliner paint job would likely cost 20 times.

The semigloss black rustoleum is a tough paint. It will last forever, and is easy to touch up. I used a foam roller, and put on 3 light coats. Dont thin the paint. Sand with 220, wash with soap and water, dry, wet the floor down, and go at it. I use the good blue masking tape. The best part is you can wheel, get light scratches, wash it, roll another light coat on it and look great again. The semigloss gives a very nice stealth look. I am lifting my jeep right now, I will try to post some pictures soon.
