Hey guys,

I just bought this 2000 XJ a few months ago. I've finished repairing all the typical things that go bad on these things and am ready to move forward. I've had a 3.5" lift and tires to go on it since before I bought it, but I want to get it painted before I do all that. The Jeep is Patriot Blue now. The more I look at it, the more I dislike this color. It's just too dark and drab.

Has anyone here run into this situation and found a color of blue that you like? If I'm going to paint it, I want to paint it a color that really pops in the sunshine. Y'all give me a hand in finding the right color that will make this thing stand out in a crowd.

I don't know if my painter is going to do the door jams or not, but for the price, I doubt it, so I don't want to go too drastically light. Let me know what you guys think and show me some photos or your paint jobs.

Thanks


Lots of paint fade on the fender extensions.

The hood's cracked and faded and there's light rust on the roof.
