What Color?

I'm just about done with my Jeep build. Now it's time to paint it, but what color? I want to leave the bed black but not sure on the cab. Wife says do the whole Jeep black. It is a 1976 J20 with new everything. Even has 17" disc brakes on the front. It used to be a DOW Jeep with a utility bed and I took that off and built a flat bed. I may just prime it and let the new owner worry about a color. I'll probably just sell or trade it anyway.

I thought about that. Keep it about the original color with a couple of coats of clear. That way I won't have to paint the door returns or under the hood.

good thinking, will save you time and money. love the bed set up, great looking work truck. Would look good on my farm.

Woodland MARPAT would be my choice.

Have you considered a ballpark for an asking price?

Haven't considered a price yet. Everything is new. Front end, rear end, transfer case, tranney, clutch, springs--well you get the idea. iT HAS ABOUT 45K on the engine. It is a 360 with a 2 barrel. Was thinking of going to a 4 barrel but why. This truck is stupid fast and strong. 4 new 17" tires. It is a beast.

Man that thing is sweet, and a 1976 with only 45K miles that is killer. With I had the dough for this baby.

I too would go with a green similar to the original color

There is a local Jeep Cherokee done in a forest green that I really like.

I vote keep the green, it looks pretty good on it.

I've been obsessed with Jeep's Sahara Tan lately.
