It will not, however, the rustoleum will fade bad. The last few jeeps I painted with Krylon didn't keep their color for very long in the sun. My aervoe has held up to the Vegas furnace without fading so far. Plus krylon/rustoleums green is too dark/grey for my taste.

That Nuclear Cowboy is built so Bad Azz you could paint it flaming pink camo and it would still be toughest on the block. I agree with the lighter green although both patterns look very well done, nice work. Would you go woodlands? At my age I'd retro to a tiger stripe pattern. Here in Canada the Peep is white and only sticks out for a brief couple weeks thaw in mid summer. What brand of paint is on that bright patterned XJ and are the two paint jobs comparable in age and exposure to that Nevada sunshine?

Brighter xj is aervoe darker is krylon. The darker spent 3 months in CA before that shot. Mine was a month old and spent that month in the summer sun hardening.

That was my uncles jeep and I painted both. I went OCD on mine to match a hmmwv. He wanted more color and a slightly different pattern.
