In an attempt to really spruce up the old girl and make her car show worthy and really stand out, im going to give the fenders, bumpers, and rockers and new paint job. I was looking at the two tone cherokees and they are really nice. now if i could only come up with a color choice for her. Im either gonna do black or silver, and im really leaning toward silver. just wanted your guys input. silver wheels are going on soon if that helps.
here she is:

I love the current color, just needs some lift. I vote for silver base coat, with black halfway down.

I'd go with Silver since you went with clear turn signals and head lights. Also Silver will look nice with your Silver rims.

If go higher than the Cherokee badge. Like where the body line is. Or it will look funky

HA, no problem work is slow today. Are you thinking about painting the bumper end caps too? I have read a lot about paint on those things not holding up very well for more then a year or two, that is the only thing that has stopped me from painting them, but then again im going all black so i think im just going to buy some trim dye and soak em.

Don't mean to butt in but if you get a chance could you do a photoshop of mine in hunters orange, with black on the bottom of doors and black bumpers?
