Re: What do you think about this color

Big fan of the two tone. I have narrowed it down to three paint choices when it's time to paint my K5.

1) Medium Olive
2) Ochre
3) Two tone Medium Olive over white. Basically replacing the Orange in your pic with Medium Olive.

Re: What do you think about this color

im not a fan of the JK Anvil color from last year, simply because of the non metallic paint.
they also did a green color this year called Tank.

i do like the gray color, and you might check out the 2012 dodge charger Tungsten gray

Re: What do you think about this color

um interesting, I though the non metallic paint color would give it a modern twist on 70s paint style.

But really, what do you think about WANNABEFASTCRF's thought?

I think Anvil would look alright. what do you have planned for the interior, maybe compliment the interior with some white areas/sections?

The Anvil color does nothing for me, but that's just me.

Re: What do you think about this color

That Mississippi mud grey does nothing for me either, very blah in my opinion. I may go as far as to say it may be less exciting than just about any color I've ever seen one of these trucks painted including primer. Sorry to be harsh but I just don't think it does anything for that period of vehicle, and the only reason it is passable at all on the Jeep is because the Jeep is a rather slabby plasticy looking vehicle.

Re: What do you think about this color

I believe a vintage car or 4x4 should wear its original color ... So many great colors with a lots of character... But everybody's different

I think vintage cars and trucks should wear factory colors. It might not be the original color to the vehicle, but a factory available color.

I feel like the Anvil color might look better paired with black instead of the white.

Re: What do you think about this color

A color can truly set the feeling of era for a vehicle. Non-metallics were used up to the fifties, with lots of chrome. On these trucks, they can give it a classic hot rod feel, but it definitely pulls it away from the 60-70's style that they were originally built with.
I for one, think it would look a lot better in person, than the photoshop renderings.
The flip side, is most people into a specific classic vehicle, like them for the memories and era they evoke. Original colors are part of that. I can't help thinking most of us would hate ochre, or the original greens on these trucks, if we didn't have positive memories of the era they were a part of.
Bottom line is if it looks cool to you, it is cool, unless you're trying to sell or show it.
