Pete M Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 You live in Georgia. I'd go with white. :D I hate how the dark colors absorb the sunlight. :( Someday I'm going to paint my 88 in a light tan scheme, maybe camo. :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Flat black just looks bad @$$ on a MJ :brows: Tan looks ok as well :brows: as does any flat primer color that comes in a rattle can or can be bought cheaply and sprayed well. Leave out primer gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 don't use primer though, I prefer a "semi-gloss" for automobile paint. Primer is porous and doesn't seal the metal. Flat paint is a total PITA to clean mud off of. Gloss paint is a total PITA to spray and make look nice. Semi gloss is a nice mix of all of the above. I plan on painting the MJ with rustoleum "hammered" paint. The textured paint is easy to tough up, and it hides the outline/shape of dents well. and I like how it turned out on my front bumper.

Oizarod115 Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 save your money and spend it on a lift or winch. painting it would cost all of 40 bucks so I'm not worried about that... plus i just got new tires cause the old ones were about to cause (another) wreck so i can't lift it yet (they were a graduation present i can't just get rid of them) this is being put on hold i suppose for now because i just threw down 200 bucks on a running XJ that is STRICTLY for parts (went in with my bro and another guy) so I'm getting AW4/np231/shifting stuff/w/e i need out of that. but i still wanna hear opinions!
