Repainting my BJ-40

Post by Jason »

Am repainting my BJ40. I've chosen a Yellow and Black combo. What's the brightest, eye-popping yellow available? Any other suggested color schemes?

Camo is quite practical and cheap. I've recently painted my ride with 3 colors - urban camo - black, grey and white. I used satin acrylic powdercoat touch up paint - $8.00 a rattle can - and was very happy with the result. Reason I used acrylic instead of enamel was the acrylic is a lot easier to repaint in the future without a full strip, cheap enamel goes chalky after exposure to the elements (remember we're talking about an often used trailrig - not a show n shiner) and is also difficult to retouch without getting crazing. As a joke, you can also retouch your rig on the trail!

Your rig is something to drool over, BJ on Roids! Like the color, too. Am looking for the brightest screaming yellow available. So as to enhance the contrast with black. Know of anything better than chrome yellow? Actually, mine's gonna be a daily driver. But I'd like it to be ready to rock whenever I feel like going for a jaunt in the mountains. Thanks for the suggestions on turbocharging a 3B.

Mine was for about a year at that height :shock:

YEAH just picka nice bright yellow and roll with it, I would not stress about how it looks, jst scratch it up a bit, and nobody will notice, throw on some big meats and people wont even care what it looks like they just go:

WOW what are the tyres? :shock:

Caterpillar yellow is bright - if you do the hard yards by preping properly and put it on right it will almost glow in the dark. :D :D :D
