Yellow's a pretty drastic change. Better look at lots of pics and be sure first. Taking into account the jambs and everything, a simple respray is a whole lot easier and cheaper.

If you're planning on painting JUST the outside, stick with your original color, imho. It looks silly to open the doors/engine/etc and see a different color on the inside than the outside.
If you're going to repaint EVERYTHING... yellow is pretty cool.
Just my .02

I painted my black '92 yellow last month. Turned out great. I am in the process of finishing the door sills and such with yellow.
Before...

After... I rolled the paint on. Valspar Industrial OSHA "Safety Yellow". Nasty stuff. Very hard to remove from skin.
About 10 bux a quart, 10 bux for rollers and 25 bux for sandpaper.

I used Valspar Industrial enamel. Same as Rustoleum but smoother I think. Cheap too. I wouldn't suggest painting the Jeep this way though. It takes ALOT of time and prep to get it right. Next vehicle I do I will probably spray with conventional auto paint.
It did take a good 18 coats to cover the sanded down black though. Some edges are still a bit "thin" and I will be touching up once it warms up outside. This paint takes a while to completely dry.
