Update, pics on pg 2 I found a great Jeep, and I'm in the market. The price is right and the miles are super low. The only problem is that it is bright yellow. I'd greatly prefer black to maintain the operational status of my operations since I'm an operator. It looks just like this one, but has a hardtop. Is the color a deal breaker? My wife is already making fun of it.

It wouldn't bother me even though I prefer darker colors.
You are just an operator trying not to look so operator-ish.

As long as you're planning to start speaking with a lisp and flapping your hands around when you talk, you should be fine.

I had a XTerra in the same color. I learned to like it. Easy to find in crowded parking lots and walking back to the truck after walking through the desert looking for quail/deer/etc.

That looks a lot like my 2008 JK. It was the first yellow vehicle I've ever owned. It grows on you. I just bought a rally yellow Camaro.

Yellow is Zombie Camo........they can't see Yellow so it make you like the Predators Armor.
My 2k is Yellow. I like the yellow and if you do buy it.....you will start to see A LOT of yellow jeeps. It's a pretty popular color.

I had an 04 unlimited, the only year they made the unlimited in 2-door, so it was like newer version of the scrambler. It was that exact yellow, and I loved it.

Looks queer to me. The color prevents it from being an acceptable purchase.
Perhaps the $300 car paint job would fix it. |

Depends how much of a great price you are getting, how much it bothers you and how much you'd want to put into it.
I have a friend that owns a bodyshop and bought a 97 TJ that was the ugly sea green color but with the tan top and interior. The paint was starting to fade and had a few spots that needed some fixing, so I knew I was repainting it anyways. Was going to put new fenders, bumpers and a stinger on it as well as 33" tires so it was a project. Got some GCI CARC paint in matte tan and had my friend disassemble, prep. prime, spray (even the inside of the wheel wells, undercarriage, everything) and seal everything with a matte clear coat. Paid $1200 for everything as the work was at practically cost and it looks awesome. |

Be sure you have a guy/shop that knows how to prep for and spray the old school alkyd enamel as thats what the GCI stuff is, and make sure you seal it with a clear coat. We thought at first since it was a very rough paint that it wouldn't need a clear coat, but it made it able to be rubbed off if you dragged something across it. Once it was sealed with the matte clear, it was perfect. |
