Color Regret?

[Columbus104]

First Jeep...always liked black. Obviously once you buy, you notice all the others. I can't change
the color but looking for suggestions on improving the look. All suggestions and criticisms welome.

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you are looking for inexpensive ways to make the plain black a bit more "interesting" with minimal cost. While the plasti-dip is definitely an option, it's far from cheap. A more cost effective option would be to choose an accent color (red is super common with black, but pretty much any color would look good with black). And then start swapping out parts with that color. You can do it little-by-little. You could get a colored antennae, gas cap, windshield wiper components, decals, for next to nothing. Then over time you could look at bigger options - wheels, painting tow hooks, bumper components, etc.

Actually you CAN change the color... you could always go all out and do a full vehicle wrap. @Az-jewel did one and it looks outstanding.

I got a billet silver with the black hard top and plastic fenders, no regrets here.

Not sure where you got the idea I was looking for the cheap way out. The post says all suggestions welcome and there have been many...all greatly appreciated....including yours! Some great ideas.

I got all black as well, and have gone all black on it.

I figure when the mood strikes, I will do color accents or something to add flare should I feel the need. But so far have been fine with all black.

Like the wheels...great place to start. Where did you get the front bumper?

It never ends... Just picked up a Rhino Rack and Awning. Lol. Just another platform/spot to buy more sh*t because empty space is not allowed.

I got white because in early 18, colors were very limited. I was deciding between Granite or White, I do wish I went with Granite.. but it's ok. I really wanted sting gray when it was released. The color envy will never stop....

The Mrs. would go white in a heartbeat if she could do it over. White would hide trail pinstriping very well.

That was actually my exact reasoning for going with white. It hides a lot more... imo.

Ran over a downed Aspen tree in CO and I thought the branches were under the jeep; they weren't. Pinstriping looks like sh*t on a black Jeep.
