New owner on a Punk n Metallic Rubicon.

[trouphaz]

Congrats OP! Especially since you went for the 6 speed

I had my order for Punk'n as well...but I switched once I saw Mojito and I learned Punk'n was not actually metallic and did not align with early photos or the actual Jeep owners manual that came with my Mojito Jeep. I have owned a number of orange cars / trucks so I immediately gravitate towards them. I still like Punk'n but was hoping for more of a copper hued / burnt metallic orange this time around.

Cheers

I am with you 100%. That coppery metallic orange color is what I was hoping for and I found this to a bit too reddish for my taste.

It’s called copperhead pearlcoat from 2014, and as soon as I can talk the wife into it, that’s what my rubi will be painted .... I love that color especially trimmed in black....

That's exactly what I wanted. When I saw the punkn in person, , it just wasn't my color. Especially when the builder shows it more coppery. But I also thought the SG looked horrible until I saw it in person

It’s funny how we all have our tastes. I wouldn’t want it coppery at all and am glad it looks flat. I would have thrown a bit more yellow if I were mixing the paint, but I still love it.

Haha indeed it is! So it sounds like you would have liked Nacho? I felt like it was a yellowish Punk'n.

Orange is really growing on me! What options did you get?

Maybe. I really liked the Dozer on the JK. No matter, I’m loving my Punk’n! So much fun.

Congrats! Prepare yourself for daily compliments on your color choice.

Orange wasn't even on our radar when we went shopping. The one and only Jeep we test drove was the Punk'n... a couple hours later she was all ours The Punk'n is an interesting color as it changes drastically depending on the light. Sometimes pale. Sometimes as orange as you can imagine. Personally the oranger the betterer!

Looks good in the snow

Looks good in the snow

Goes good with brown too... such a versatile color that goes well with most earth tones

I almost bought a Punkn, too, with the "upgraded" Rubi wheels but god I thought it looked horrible with those wheels. The price was gonna be right so I said I'd deal with it...but fortunately for me that deal fell through and I got a Mojito with the "basic" Rubi wheels which I think are WAY better

Looking good! I went with the Mojito after first telling the dealer that it was the ugliest Jeep i had ever seen... 2 minutes later I told him to draw up the paperwork because I had to have it..

I went from granite to sting-gray (stayed on it for several months) then went with Punk'n.
fun color which goes great with the Wrangler overall feel ... my humble opinion

Nice! You didn't need to tell us you didn't get the decals from the dealer... We are all quick to recognize @pixeldecals work ;-)

They have decals and have a few on the new Jeep.

You are so right! It's definitely not a metallic Orange at all. I was a little disappointed too, but my wife wanted the Mojito and I'm not too crazy about green. So we compromised.

Gorgeous Jeep. Congratulations and glad Jeep still offers the 6-speed.

I just ordered the new manual race pedals from Quadratec and they are completely out of stock. I was totally surprised which tells me there are a lot of 6 speeds I guess.
