Rattle can + white/black bedliner.
I'm almost finished with my paint job. All I have left to rattle can, is the front clip (which will be the same color blue as the rest of the jeep), and the bumpers (satin black like the flares). I've seen a bunch of flat rattle can paint jobs, but I haven't seen many in a glossy, unpopular color. I spent about $80 on the blue paint (Krylon Bahama Sea Gloss) and I had some left over. I haven't done the top yet, but it will be white roll on bedliner; made by Grizzly grip. I love the look so far, and I can't wait until I'm finished... I'm putting on my 2" lift this weekend, so I'll have it painted by next weekend.

I haven't done the grizzly grip yet. I ordered their white bedliner for the top, and hopefuly I'll be painting it next week. I'll take a close-up of it then though. The liner I used for the rockers/door bottoms was some rustoleum black. It's not bad, but I like the texture of the Bondo brand bed liner better.

I wasn't planning on shooting any clear. Any particular reason why you'd advise it? I know it protects the paint, but I didn't see any sense in rattle canning clear over an already glossy, rattle can blue. I plan to wax it regularly and hope it lasts. Any first hand advise would be appreciated though.

White, Grizzly grip bedliner
Here's a close up of grizzly grip bedliner. This stuff is amazing. I put it on in 2 coats.. First a thin, base coat, then a thick, second coat. I haven't really noticed any difference in inside temperature, but it's definitely not as hot to the touch as the black roof was.
