beside it is only running jeeps that suit bright colours, the static garden jeeps are better in dull colours so as not to annoy the neighbours

i would say that was unfair my first i bought that way and nosebolt picked a very similar shade without ever seeing my first scrambler so sheep no
i just like it and in fact i like hemi orange and yellow so much next year i think big red will become big yella again this is cos i have had sreveral in the past bright yellow and i still love it

yellow is uber cool, so I don't blame you there, in fact thats why I asked what colour you painted it, it was a toss up in my mind whether it would be yellow or orange, as to being unfair, I guess you can become head of the flock then seems you had it first/

to be 100% truthful it was the paint choice was forgone as already had half of the paint needed but if i had no paint and could aford to go and buy it all in one hit it might well have been yellow

Jeep Solar yellow off the TJ is unbeatable, as is Fiat's Broom Yellow.
Other than that yellow is hard to do well imo;
too light & matt ands it looks washed out & faded, get it too dark & it looks like plant.

Continuing the Mopar theme; what about 'plum crazy'?

Can you legally flatfender a tj? will it fall foul of mot laws for sharp edges? due to it being a post '95 design?
