Just realized I may have ordered the wrong tires. I think I’ll be switching to the BSW tires instead of the OWL. They must have just added this option and didn’t notice until now. Just emailed dealer to change it for me.
I went and looked at my order sheet(mine doesn't list the tire) and then went to Jeep.com and specs for the Rubicon has the BSW tires as standard and the OWL tires as an option?

Yes it looks like they added it as an option. But when I looked at the detail it showed BFG tires for the OWL option so I thought that was correct. I like the look of all black so hopefully they can change it back to BSW.

If I knew anything at all about paint, that would be pretty cool. From what I can tell, you're saying the color is out there, and matching shouldn't be a problem. Do you think powder coating is a better or worse option than paint?
Powder coating is a different process and produces a different finish. It definitely has its place and is good, but not to match this paint system

It is actually a two stage color, not a three stage. It's your normal base coat/clear coat color. All top tier paint systems should have the formula in their systems. Hope this clears that up. :like:
DTM epoxy primer, Base color coat, clear poly, buff and thin clear poly finish. To be specific. Acid etch wash and aladine for aluminum prep coat for the hood and doors (aluminum). But cheesy body shop and many DYI folks cut corners and of course you get what put into the work. Maybe you should tell him how it should be done. Clearly your the expert.

Awwwww. Just makes me wonder. Is this how the JL's are coming together. Seeing how they do the hard top was cool too.
