no point in painting it. lift it and wheel it. cherokees need to be beating on from time to time.

Honestly I like wild paint schemes. I'd go with john deere paint ( very durable I used it on my rims). use their primer and do classic green on the body and yellow for rims and trim. It would look awesome!

Yeah, I know, but it would look super bad-***. That's what I'm planning with mine... And I don't want to do it a as a vinyl wrap, so it will either be a) really expensive or b) really difficult...

Gotcha, what about flat blacking it? Powder coat the rims(for durability). then flat it(the body) and put a thin dullcoat over it?

White is cheap and easy. Hides a lot of imperfections.

Or this olive green used on the Bushwacker Xj flat fender flares. A nice color...
