Was wondering what kind if colors I could accent the stock paint on my rig (like the bumpers, side trim, or flares). I'm painting the rockers black soon as well, may just do it all at once. Here's some pics, I was thinking a more burnt orange like the new challengers

Gotta love the "deep amythyst pearl", haha. I've "accented" my diff cover and rear tow hook yellow so far. It actually doesnt look too terrible, and i think as i move on to other things i'm gonna stick with the yellow trim.
But if i were you i'd go with the green, i think that'd look pretty sick.

Black or chrome. Me, personally, Id do everything black. Ive got a Desert Sand Pearl (Gold) and I HATE anything on it other than black. Black on my Gold looks awesome. That purple you have is a tough color too. If your fenders are painted to match, Id paint the side trim too (if it isnt already) or remove it, then do the wheels, bumpers, door handles, etc., in black or chrome. Pick one and stick with it. If you want it multi-colored, then do what youre talking about. Yellow and purple are complimentary colors so they look good together, but youll look like the Easter Jeep, thats for sure. But hey, everyone likes different stuff.....for the most part.

Lime green or hot pink? At least that's what they do down here in the ghettos. Lol. Jk man. Seriously, try a silver.

Not a fan of silver, but I think if I found the right neon green it wouldn't be too bad

Thanks, the rear quarters below the body line and everything below the trim are getting OD'd haha

I wanna put rubberized undercoating on the rockers though my new 31's are gonna toss rocks at them like crazy haha

Anyone know if they make an OD rubberized undercoating?
