Hmmm...I really don't think there is any way to really blend the white/silver very well. I really can't think of any way to blend them and get a good look out of it.

the camo would defnitly not look good expecially the digi camo. maybe if you could get it to look good with camo then maybe but i would just go with white or grey or yea paint it black

I may just do the entire thing just a matte silver. I'm either thinking this right now, or else maybe do a shades of black digi camo design. The goal is to make the project cost as little as possible.

Honestly guys, camo doesnt sound near as good on a jeep as good as it looks.. I didnt know which i wanted to do.. spray bomb it, or get it done by a "pro" painter (someone who actually paints for a living XD) but i chose a completely alternative rout, and i love it.. lots of other ppl do too :P

Maybe repaint the front end black, bedline the kicker panel/fenders, and paint the rear quarter panel back?

i rattle canned mine. i think it looks pretty good for being a $50 paint job. of course its all in the prep too. i've seen guys spend hundreds of dollars on materials and try to do the work themselves to save money and have it ending up looking like crap. but i spent the better part of an afternoon just scufffing and prepping mine to rattle can it. its all in the way you prepare for a paint job. i used to work at a high end body shop that catered to mercedes and BMW and other expensive cars. all i did all day long was wet sand, tape cars off and minor body work...basically prep work for the painter. i learned a lot from doing just that kind of thing. make sure that if you end up spray bombing it that you find a nice dry place that doesn't have a lot of dust and that has plenty of light so you can see where you've painted and where you haven't. either way you go good luck with it
