Looking good, what're you shooting it with? I just shot my lower trim & flares with BedArmor, really happy with how it came out.

I would do the doors and hatch up to the belt line so it looks like two tone.

I think it looks great, good job.

I think it would good if you paint the roof black also. From on top of the gutter
up. So leave the gutter white and black from behind the gutter up to the roof.

Looks Good, I did the similar layout with Monsta-Liner a few years ago. Best part is easy touchup if/when you scratch it up...

I'm gonna do this (opposite though) my XJ is Black & the roof is Alligator cracking, I'll prep it & Monstaliner it White. Hopefully reflect some of the sun/heat in the summer...

I have a white XJ and I've been thinking about doing something similar to what you're talking about. I like that old school SUV paint scheme. Similar to this with the white roof...

I considered doing the same point job, but ended up going all the way up to the body line below the door handles, and I am glad I did. More of a 2 tone look. Here is a picture for reference.
