"DEFENDER" Yellow...


A yellow Defender 90 is one of the coolest looking off road vehicles ever.
If I ever had to re-paint mine I'd do the brightest yellow available. That way it would pretty much match my toolbox:)

i never have cared too much for bright yellow. unless you're going for the school bus or "short bus" look. now the old mustard yellow of the 40s was awesome. i also like the new orangish color that the new chevrolets are wearing, maybe with some old school stripes simular to the UA FJC in maybe brown and white stripes like the tube socks i used to wear as a kid!! oh, oh, with a white roof!!
 
Black rubber baby!

You can never go back, but you never have to worry about a pinstripe, a scratch, a key job, nada.

Too cool when you wheel it a lot...and you will never be able to fill up on gas again without people coming up and groping your truck :)

I am a huge fan of the primer grey Audi used on their Neiman Marcus edition TT.

I would have said the Audi Greys too. Actually the Audi grey with blue/white Urban Snow camo would be sort of neat.

Cardinal Red which was a Toyota color back in 1991 would be a nice color too. Imagine the red on a fire truck.
 
Im for orange, Burnt orange camo.;) .......I have a pic of that somewhere.........Olive metalic is also quite groovy, goes well with gun metal trim and int. This white roof idea got me thinking about my truck..:D
 
This was done to my truck by the previous owner in Austin, TX. He actually purchased the lining and application from the contractor that does the barrels for the US military.

My understanding is that there needs to be bare metal (they sanded all the paint off of my truck) and then the coating is applied at over 700 degrees. Much tougher than line-x or rhino, etc. and still bends with the sheet metal if I get a dent.

If genuinely interested send me a PM and I will get you the email of the guy I bought the truck from that sourced this.

:eek:

Sounds like a ton-o-work. I will stick with white for now, but thanks!
 
Tan is cool, but not with the gray interior. I vote white.
 
I have a '97 Collector's Edition in the Desert Dune (tan) color with the gray leather interior and it looks just fine.
 
I like 100 series LX crystal white too.

Lots of votes for tan with a white top! What if I did this in liner?
 
Here's a pic of the color:

Hey, Doc, is that the trout hatchery near Roaring River state park? Looks familiar....
 
Spray On Bed Liner in Sand Color

Durabak sells smooth and textured bedliners in sand, tan, and many other colors. It can be sprayed on. Just like with the Model T, black is the cheapest color.

So what color would you do the wheels, bumpers, sliders and rack?

Leave them black and see how it pans out, if that doesn't work then matched to the body would be cool for the bumpers and sliders. Wheels, that's tough since your's are already black...maybe a gunmetal?
