Default Jeep Custom Paint Thread

Hey guys, I've been looking around for ideas on how I want to paint my jeep, so I thought I'd start a thread. Post pictures of your jeeps here so you can show off that awesome paint (or even if it isn't awesome, but still something different).
Anyway, here is a few I found to get this thing started:

I personally like to olive drab green with black rockers and trim like OverlandXJ has https://www.cherokeeforum.com/showthread.php?t=3008. This is pretty much exactly what I want to do to mine (minus the roof tent). The camo ones that BigBadXJ posted above look pretty sweet too as long as you take the time to make it look right. I've seen a few attempts at camo that look like *****

Very true that is why I posted the color by numbers for all whom want to do it right and not look like a bunch of spray paint blocks all over the truck!
