Also I believe the Chili Pepper Red is an awsome color, That or sunburst orange.
My '92 Laredo has the silver bumper and fender color! It looks awesome!! I like the "brilliant black metallic" chrysler has out nowadays too. My mom had 2 300c's with that paint and it looked sick when the sun shined on it!

Yeah it is a really nice color, and I agree on Brillant Black Metallic, strange enough my uncle has one that color and it looks awsome

Honestly i've thought about having my jeep Line-x'ed with their colored bedliner stuff. I think you can actually have the color mixed up and they can make the bedliner whatever color you want. Probably cost as much as a really good paintjob. And then you get free touch up if it ever flakes or fades b/c I think its warrantied for life to never chip or anything.

If you do get it painted, make sure they do all the jams, under the hood, etc. Other wise it looks really cheap. I've been tempted to do the new Rescue Green, but I really like my Chili Pepper Red. For any color, orange based hues tend to fade very easliy, and much faster than blue based hues. If you want it to last, do a blue based hue, especially with shades of red.

I'm not going cheap with the paint job especially since my cousin has the shop and he's giving me a huge discount. I'm definitely having the jambs and everything painted. He doesn't run a maaco lol
