i'd like to see fresh/new paint jobs... themed/custom or stock in different colors(orange, lime green, yellow, candy apple, etc). wondering how much spent as well.

This was done by a buddy of mine after one of the men he served with was killed in action. The YJ was his and once it was painted it was given back to his wife. She was very appreciative and I believe she still has her husband's Jeep.

i have a friend that had his XJ done by Macco. it looked great at first but after 9 months the new paint was pealing off. Macco didnt take off the old paint. they just sprayed new paint over the old. you could even see where the old chips in the paint were.

To be honest, the pictures above really don't do it justice. The man can do just about anything he wants with a paint job, he's definately the most talented painter I've ever seen.
