Default What color should I paint my jeep?

I was thinking of a light flat grey for my '91. I would do it myself with a rattle can, but I would do it right and take my time. I mostly want to do it with spray paint because I won't be bummed when it gets scratched up out on trails. Any ideas?

Pictures of your paint jobs will help.

Thanks

I've seen flat white with spray paint that looked good.. Like a desert tan looked good as well and there's always the flat green.

Here was my 89 flat green before i sold it. The guys at the FD said I had done a good job. I think grey is a great Idea.
