Default New Paint Color?

The clear coat on my jeep is peeling off real bad so i think it is time for a new paint job. I am thinking about painting it orange. My bother recently painted his subaru orange and has enough left over paint to do my jeep.
here is a picture of the orange i am thinking of painting it:


I would paint it this orange and all the trim, mirrors, fenders, bumper will be black.

What do you guys think?

Default I did it!

I finally painted my jeep. My brother and I painted it it the driveway and it was the first time I have ever painted anything. I turned out really good i think. I bedlined the fenders and bumper caps.

That is sweet! Looks better on the XJ than it did on the Subie. Black trim really sets it off!
