so eventually im going to repaint the CJ. just going to do a spray paint job since the body is pretty beat up and just going to wait til it falls apart and replace the whole tub. was thinking doing a camo scheme since i am no expert painter. so that bring up which colors to do.
green camo
white camo
orange/red camo
blue camo
or pink camo
honestly was thinking the pink camo because i know that NOBODY else has it around here and lets face it, we all wanna stick out abit. ;D

I always like solid Olive Drab CJ's. If I was going to rattle can one, that is what I'd do.

I know you young guy's like the flashy colors but I like Bill's idea, the flat olive drab is cool on jeep.

X2 on solid drab olive

When I wnet looking for my YJ, I really wanted the Olive Drab Sahara, but I couldn't find one in good shape. I settled for the Kaki Drab, which has grown on me. The owners manual states "DO NOT WAX" ;D

NO PINK YOU DON'T HAVE AN OPTION YOU ALREADY THOUGHT OF IT BE DIFFERNT

;D olive drab might be cool too. originally was thinking flat black and getting stainless accent pieces for it but this body is not in the greatest shape so im not really concerned about how it looks. just want it all one color.

Solid Olive Drab with stenciled white lettering on the hood. Make it look Gov issue.
It looks good. I put a little thought into doing mine that way, but I just like the current green too much to cover it up.

Here are a couple pictures of my old CJ7. I bought it with this pale yellow color and after I flipped it on it's side and had to replace the windshield frame I painted it semi-gloss black with rustoleum. I did that paint job with a roller. Never picked up a spray can.

I didn't realize I still had pictures of my other CJ7 on Photobucket. Here's a pick of what a CJ7 looks like when it's painted blue.

how many cj's did u have?

I've actually had 3 CJ7s. All 3 were 1986 models with the Dana 44 rear axle. One was a complete rust bucket and I never did get it on the road before I bought the blue one so I got rid of it. I sold the blue one when I bought the yellow one.
I just did a wet sanding after I got done rolling the paint on and it turned out pretty well.

how many cj's did u have?
i have owned 6 in the last 6 months

do any of them run? ;D
thanks for the info rodger. what paint did you buy tho? automotive paint or just general paint?
-
I just used Rustoleum in a can. It wasn't automotive paint at all. I did thin it with mineral spirits before rolling it on. I don't remember ever having a chip come off after I finished it.

hmmm.... after hearing this maybe i'll roll on some olive drab and make a stencil that says "the duke" to put on the hood where rubicon would normally be put. (the duke is the project name since it has the iron duke engine in it)
-

yes 1 of them and the cj2a now runs cause my buddy who i traded it to had an old welder with a willys L head powering it so we swapped the L head over for a 20hp kohler and got a running jeep and welder

it can't much much better i don't think. also don't need primer ;D figure i'll roll it on like previously mentioned and wet sand it down.
