what color should i paint my jeep?

[jeepgeek2002]

Im adding a touch of PINK to the fuel door. Just the throw off any person thinking its a military jeep. the idea came after drinking a Spark Red* (to which i still can't figure out the taste if its cherry or strawberry or just Novacain flavor)

O.D Green it is.. military star in White on doors.. front bumper painted orange. its coming off soon any way so why not. lol

I've always been a big fan of midnight blue....its always a mystery is it blue or is it purple?

WTF flavor is "RED" anyway, tasted like chemicals uke:

i believe the color of choice is now PUMPKIN PATCH ORANGE... or similar...

Sorry for the confusion that is for my MJ, Mark was checking out the OD green

 

[jeepgeek2002]

i just got an "interesting" idea on paint...
Forest Service jeeps have that funky green color...
from passanger windows back.. painted black... like its a MJ with a topper look..

but heres what i was thinking for the door driver and passanger:
some thing against Trouts Unlimited.. a vinyl sticker of a Trout with swampers accross it or something like that..
any ideas?

im gonna ask the obvious question.... where the hell is this thing supposed to be expected to hide?

 

[bigalpha]

The idea of the camo is not supposed to hide. At the time, they didn't use the same types of radar and tracking that we use now so this camo would make it hard for the enemy to get a 100% proper reading on the bearing/speed of the ship. This would allow it to (supposedly) escape danger easier.

[jeepgeek2002]

It did make me scratch my head for like 5 mins trying to figure what the hell i was looking at.. so.. it did work on me

Other drivers would give you a wide berth.

do you know how AWESOME that would be if you did paint it like that old war boat!!!!!

ehmmm


I DARE YOU TO PAINT IT LIKE THE BATTLESHIP IN THE PICTURE!

... the dare is in play now, will you accept the challenge?

 

[jeepgeek2002]

the scale for that ship to my xj?
here ya go.. add some wheels

 

[bigalpha]

That ship is 376' long. The picture is roughly 9.5" long (added a little extra for the perspective of the ship). 1" in picture = 40'.

Jeep is 14' long. 14'/376' = .037.

If a stripe on the ship is 20' wide, multiply by .037 and that gives you how wide (in feet) the stripe should be on the Jeep.

Right?
