Default New Paint job

Today is my birthday, I just turned 40. I was a little bum until the drive home.
As soon as I made that right turn to my house I saw my jeep with a new paint job. My wonderful wife took my jeep and got it painted. She lied to me on Monday and told me that her work place needs my jeep for some child car seat setups and that my jeep had the old style seatbelts they were looking for. So I handed her the keys and she took it for 4 days.

4 days later I have my jeep back with a new paint job. Two tone (Black over Metallic silver with a red pin stripe)

I was speechless. She handed me the keys and said HAPPY 40th honey. Is she a great wife or what?

I know it's not a traditional jeep color, but I'm a little hot rodder at heart.

Looks great. I have toying with idea of two-toning mine. Silver top/ Black bottom. But I think I like that better.

First off, happy birthday!!!!!

Second, keep your wife happy and don't buy her vacuum cleaner for her birthday.

Third, the two tone is really nice. In a world of solid color vehicles a two tone paint job is refreshing to look at.!

Congrats!
Mike

I want to thank everyone for all the happy birthday wishes.
