im tryin to decide what im going to paint my jeep probally something out of the Duplicolor Paint shop Series ( pre-mixed and EVERYTHING ) i allways liked White and Silver XJ's and am thinking i might do one of those but i want something that will hide scratches which is why i decided against Flat black : ( what do you guys think? maybe do the 97+ swap later too.

Definitely white would be the best to hide scratches. With dents hard to say, but it may cloak dents better as well. It also would be easier to spray than a silver as well.

White sux. I would go with silver.

do silver with two black stripes. That would look Ba.

That's questionable... My experience w/ my white XJ: surface scratches (scuffs,etc.) = yes, white masks that pretty good. But deeper scratches (to the metal) = white sucks. White shows dirt like a champ too...

white shows the dirt really well and it doesn't get hot in the summer

My Jeeps paint looks brand new but if you get right up next to it the hidden scratches start to show up. My white paint job is amazing at hiding scratchs.

TwistedcaB- · 02-09-2009, 08:28 PM

yeah it looks BA. but i think you need to do another coat on the doors you can still kinda see the black coming through. even in your avatar. i wish i could find a new 97+ XJ and do the conv. but there are none around here

bebout · 02-09-2009, 08:36 PM

Yep. The doors are gonna get another coat when the weather warms back up a little more.

TwistedcaB- · 02-09-2009, 10:00 PM

haha yeah i have to wait for it to warm up here to do mine. it SNOWED today here in SoCal!!!!!!!

mine's silver and hides scratches fairly well...Dents, not so much. But with all the mud that's usually on it, no one can see the scratches or dents
