  • So they say, once you go black...

    You never go back. I have found this is definitely true, in relation to paint. Right now my YJ has a shit white paint job on it. Its very obviously a bad spray paint job, but it does at least look 'clean'. I keep thinking I want to paint the whole thing with the same paint I used on the wheels. A real basic flat black from rust oleum. It would be super easy to do, and if it looks as good as the wheels do, it would be awesome. However, once I take the plunge, that's it -there is no going back... at least with my limited painting skills. So, thoughts?

    Here is the current state of her;



    And this is, presumably, what it could look like;

              I really love white cars and just think flat black or black on black is way too overdone and boring

                  Flat black should be resevered for civRockets and guitars
                  I like the white, it also covers more imperfections, whereas F black shows EVERYTHING

                          This is true my next xj will be flat black with red pinstriping. Once you go black you never go back. Or once your purple your always a derple.

                              The dings definitely show up pretty badly... but I must admit, it looked dope none the less.
