I'm thinking about calling him The Punisher and painting it black with that while punisher skull on the hood. What do ya'll think?

I like black and I like red but your combo sounds nice. How's it running? I have been reading your other posts...Tj

Well I don't have any gas in it right now so I need to dig up some change and rattle my can and fill him up, but other than that it still kinda misses but its doing better. I replaced a few hoses that needed to be replaced, got a new air filter (mine was BLACK) and reattached some wires. I think I did it some good but this thing is going to need a lot of tlc before its perfect-o! As for the paint, I thought about doing black and red, so we will see what kind of mood I'm in when I go to buy the paint

Do it. Flat black with the punisher skull on the hood would look nice - that's the paint scheme I ran on my old demo derby car that survived three derbies in one season - a total of 5 heats. It just would not die.

Two best jeep colors, in my opinion, are Flat Tan and Flat Black.

Can't go wrong with either one, imo!

Black on top and Red on the bottom and put the Punisher's skull on the roof and a skull & Crossbones on the Hood.

What do you guys do for prep that have painted your jeeps flat colors? I assume sanding, red lead, primer, etc. How have you painted? spray can, grav paint gun? I'm thinking that I'll need a paint job sometime. Also, did you guys worry about the door sills, etc etc? I might just hit the outside and say f' it. Great thing about flat colors is that touchup's a breeze. Did you guys seal the paint?

Extreme 4x4 did like a $70 paint job on that blue xj 'cheap jeep' that looked pretty damn good. Don't remember what they used.
