Default POLL: what color should I paint

MULIPLE CHOICE PLEASE ONLY PICK YOUR FAVORITE 2
first thing I do when I get my next 91-95 xj is paint it because I can do it quick and easy and cheap
one stage with black trim completely for style
I probably will paint it whichever color happens to appeal to me on that particular day
but I still wanna see what everyone thinks

Black, because then the rhino liner or whatever brand you use will blend it better.... than you could tint the tail lights and turn signal indicators an black steelies would be perfect and blend right in.

I have thought about the murdered out look. but I think I might like the clear tail/headlights look on the old body style. definitely black rims on whatever color

How do you know it's going to need paint if you don't have it yet?

You should do a silver with black paint scheme. That tends to look nice

First would be a good, flat tan/beige. If not that, then white. Both will really make the black trim look good.

camo wouldnt be a possibility for me.
I live in the city. cant pull it off in CA. I dont hunt fish or spend much time outdoors at all
I mean Ive seen it plenty of times on this site and people make it look good but it would just be tacky for where I live

I highly doubt a $1000 91-95 model will have good paint. I cant stand peeling clear coat
and be the color I like. and also, I just get excited so I wanted to do a poll

black and white are my first two choices. but theyve been done every way a hundred times.
yeah there arent many custom xj's in my area so pretty much any color would be original here
but its just a little boring. no matter how good black and white look
/but definitely no camo -_-
