Is this wax or new paint?

These are the first full pictures I’ve taken of my exterior.

I don't think it's wax, or paint. It looks like a Jeep to me. :greensmok

What ever it is, it looks brand new.

Thats new paint, I don't recall the flares being same color as the body on the pre-97's.

Nice looking rig!

When I repainted my 90 I used 96 "Country" color codes for the body/flares but the flares on the RENIX models were a darker gray than on the later models.

My dads 85 Larado had body colored flares.

His is the second one over. That is sitting on the dealer lot in 1984

Matching fender flares is how it came originally. There are a couple things that may give it away. Missing trim and emblems, the gold pinstripe is now black and it’s too shiny. Most Cherokees from around that year the clear coat flaked off. Now that it’s looking good it’s time for lift tires and wheels.

My bad! I was working at a Jeep dealer when the first XJ's rolled out in 84, for some reason I didn't remember the flares being body color.

Looks like it's just the newer mirrors.

 

[Mesh]

You are correct. I put the later model mirrors on it the old ones were falling apart.

Looks great, now go red, and submit your Jeep here

he's green doesnt that count?

 

[urban yan]

It should be enough, but unfortunately it isn't for ROTM.
I just switched to red so my Jeep would count.... which sucks since I had half a year left on Green.

It's very tempting. Looks like I have tomorrow to think about it.

That's a hell of a shiny rig, I only hope my MJ looks like that once I'm done with the body work!

(side note - now that I've said that, you should all invest in 3M, the makers of Bondo... :roflmao
