What color should I paint my XJ?
 
Just wondering if any of you have seen any great custom colors for XJs. I was going to just paint it black, but I'm worried that might be a bit hot in the summer. Then I thought I might paint it a wild color like blue, etc. since it can really be any color since I'm getting it painted. I've got the black Cragar steel wheels.

Got any links to an XJ that struck you as looking really good?

mines black and it does get pretty warm in the summer. I fi were to paint my jeep though i would paint it a burnt orange color. My neighbor used to have a burnt orange wrangler with black rims and it looked sick!!!

OD green.

mike37 02-27-2009 01:02 PM

yellow with black trim and tinted windows

taythegibs 02-27-2009 01:17 PM

if you want wild go hot pink or a flashy purple color...and flames would make a pretty big statement.

I like Ranger, or sage green better than OD. The lighter the shade, the better, in my book. Or desert tan.

kaustickollapse 02-27-2009 03:44 PM

satin black

chefeagles 02-27-2009 03:45 PM

eagles green!!!lol.

HTh3r0 02-27-2009 03:45 PM

black or dark green.
they seem to suit these nicely

chefeagles 02-27-2009 03:48 PM

white with out any amber lens and chrome trim and bumbers is pretty nice like on gojeep.

I'm thinking about doing Deep Blue or Jet Black from Duplicolor's new Paint Shop line:

http://www.duplicolor.com/products/paintshop.html

Seems like a nice way of doing a quality paint job from primer to clear coat.

cherokee4meplz 02-27-2009 05:05 PM

red XJs are where it's at.

BudgetXJ 02-27-2009 05:06 PM

Another vote for OD Green. Especially with the black flares and trim that it appears you already have. Thats how I want mine to end up at least.

Negative, mines red and I almost did not buy it because of that.

I say desert tan or forest service green.

xj4life2 02-27-2009 05:32 PM

Couldn't decide so I just camo'd mine

cherokee4meplz 02-27-2009 05:53 PM

I like them red- leave the military look for well- the military?

danjeep 02-27-2009 06:00 PM

Canary Yellow is a nice contrast with black but then again so is Deep Red.

Dan with XJ & YJ

COSXJFAN 02-27-2009 06:10 PM

Flat tan FTW!!

It's purdy!! LOL!!

I do like the fact that it's a little different. You don't see it on XJs everyday.

richxj89 02-27-2009 06:10 PM

Snap-on makes a really cool Bright Green, they call it Extreme Green

I gotta show this to my Heep. Just to give it something to aspire to :grin:.

cheapJeeper 02-27-2009 07:25 PM

My First choice:
Liberty Blue with black wheels, black trim and limo tint windows.

Second choice:
Teal with black wheels, black trim and limo tint windows.

Of course, OD green or tan is cool, too!

Oh yeah...ever seen one painted with white & black zebra pattern? Looks awesome, and gets you noticed, if that's what you want.

mike37 02-27-2009 07:35 PM

that tent setup is bad ***

RED, Thats the best color for a jeep in my opinion. Caution Blue is also sweet. My dads old race jeep was painted that color and it was sweet.

That tent is SICK!

Also the new olive drab color there painting them wranglers is also cool.

ajv58 02-28-2009 08:54 AM

Shaunbush26 02-02-2010 05:58 PM

a budget boost. it will give you between 1.5-3" of "lift". the thing is, you dont gain any sus. ability/travel, but you do get the body up off the tires more and you dont have to worry about driveline angles changing as they dont get off set by a BB! plus its mad cheap!!
