What color paint? Hmmm...
Have a factory green 2000 xj and am wanting to change the paint, the interior is charcoal, but I want something to stand out without breaking the bank with a candy paint job and remind you it sees branches, rocks, and mud regularly, I haven't liked any yellow ones I've seen, idk any suggestions?

Try looking at some Ford colors like Dark Shadow Gray, Or Mineral Gray. They both look good with charcoal interriors, an there were not any colors like that offered on the 97+ XJ's

Absolutely flaming pink would stand out, then after a week you could paint it blue. Do a good prep job, good lookin paint of any kind is from good prep, smooth, clean.
