Want to paint your Jeep a different color ... but don't have any money?
« on: November 06, 2009, 08:05:23 PM »
Me too. But still, I was curious to see what it would look like if I ever changed the color. So I fired up GIMP and here's a few I came up with. Click the thumbnails to see the full-size images.

Here's my Jeep as it sits now:



And if I painted it blue:



Or orange:



Or blood red:



Which one do you guys like best? My favorite color is blue so it's an obvious choice for me. But I think the red looks good too.

that red comes up pretty nice on my screen, not sure if you print it and try to match the color but that's my fav

Sure:



I'm not really feeling the black to be honest...

GIMP???

GNU Image Manipulation Program. It's like an open-source Photoshop (meaning fully free.) It lacks some of the 'very advanced' Photoshop features but you can do amazing things with it.

http://www.gimp.org/ <-- For UNIX-based operating systems, like Linux (what I use.)
http://www.gimp.org/windows/ <-- GIMP for Windows systems.

open source drawing program like paint or photoshop.

Personally, I like the original color.  Although if I was going to repaint my Jeep it would be the same color but with a clear coat.

Roll paint it.  Use two part poly with a lot of paint manufacturer's special thinner and it'll lay nice and flat.  Takes branch scratches well, too.

White looks the best on Jeeps with all black accessories!

If I ever paint mine it will be ARMY flat green, that looks good with black accessories to.

LMAO I knew you'd chime in on that comment

And I'd have to agree with smashcoast that white Jeeps look the best  :thumbsup: And black accy's look great on them as well. But I'd take my polished wheels over black steelies on a white Jeep any day  :twofingers:

I think if I were to get ANY other color Jeep at this point in time, it'd be a newer TJ in Electric Lime Green. I freakin' LOVE that color... There's a lady in town with a 4" Teraflex LA lift and 33's on MT Classic Locks. OMFG it looks sexy  :hump:
