Default Custom paint jobs

I think it would be cool to start a thread showing everybody's custom paint jobs.

So lets see em!

Does "in the process" count?

Does a non XJ count?

This was the bay in my track/show car. It's grape jelly kandy with a crap load of pearl and flake.







Here's a couple hoods we did for the same car.





and it's finished product with the carbon and kevlar

I love purple. If I ever get my own Jeep it's getting a purple paint job, even if it's via rattle can. For now I just have to settle for the black and purple pinstripe I put on the (silver) ZJ.

Dunno whether I would spend up 'large' on a custom paint job, just to tear it up again on the trails.

I'll probably just stick to my old 'factory black', and do touch ups with a rattle can.... mind you...that rattle can 'matt green', or 'tan', (as posted in other threads) looks great on XJ's too....

About as custom as I would get. I have been thinking about painting mine two-tone. Right now it's factory Silver. Thinking about Black and Silver. Wondering what do people think about it? Present paint job Attachment 19831 Future paint job Attachment 19832

I stole your Jeep pic. Here is what I am thinking about. Nothing too fancy. Silver on top, bedliner black on the bottom, bumpers and trim.

I thought about bed liner, on flairs and bumpers. with gloss black sides. that way any aftermarket bumper, or fender flairs wouldn't have to be painted. (Attachment 19861 (although Bushwackers painted to match, looked pretty nice.)

Well, I just had my jeep fully repainted and I'm getting it back tomorrow. I'm very excited and look forward to sharing the pics. It's going to look brand new with the factory paint color(Sienna Pearl Coat). I had it done because there were several chips, scratches, dents, and sap stains on the hood. They are all gone now. I'll take the pics tomorrow and send them asap.

Hi I'm looking to do a little painting to my Cherokee and I'm split between a couple colors for the tire flares. I was wondering how you made the second image of your jeep with your future custom paint. I like the future paint job by the way. It looks sharp. Thanks
