Default CF PAINT JOB

so im bored with green and wanna get fancy. i have painted many things and would dare call myself gifted with some rattlers. now i figure instead of racking my brain over ideas (heres the good part) YOU GUYS PAINT HER (shazaam!). Now how this works is you guys (or gals) post here your ideas for a paint scheme (simple white or a mural of a jeep on the jeep idc) be as complex and detailed as you want to be. i will choose a top five then you all vote on the finalists. winner will see his vision on my xj.

few rules:
no vulgar/racist tones or language
no blatant copy of another cf'rs rig
no i wont paint her pink again sorry (see pics)

photographic samples are encouraged be it MS paint or photoshoping my rig
"BUT HAVOK I CANT DRAW A STRAIGHT LINE!!" fret not. descriptive text will be just as likely to win. and im sure theres a few photoshop whizzes amongst us. ask them for help. us jeepers help out in any rut even artistic ones.

GOOD LUCK lets see some awesome designs

Here's my thought,how bout a rat rig/rod theme since,lets face it,with the height of your rig,nobody would expect it since they're usually slammed to the ground. I'm thinking primer/flat black with some old hotrod style scallops with maybe a white accent pinstripe to them. Heck,ya could even top it off by white walling your tires just for effect. Just my off the wall idea. Can't wait to see how ya decide even if ya don't try mine.

Since you're definitely a fan a freedom (thank you to all who have and continue to let us have it), how's this sound?

Whole thing is white. Covering the front of the hood and front fenders are the stars of the American flag (paint the blue over the white base coat). From that point back, are the red and white stripes (paint the red over the white base) that fade out before they get to the very back of the Jeep. On the hatch, "Jeeps Helped Keep Us Free" in blue with red pin striping. Here's a photoshop of what I'm thinking.
