    I now own a Jeep Wrangler, it's white with tan hard top, and black soft top:

    Hard Top

    Soft Top


    What I want to do... is "repaint" it, keeping the white base, but finishing with something like this:

    Urban Camo

    Perhaps leaving white a bit more dominant...

    Thoughts?

    I think it owuld look sick, but that type of camo is kind of out dated.

    It would be crazy hard to do on a large scale, but I would recommend an digital or marpat camo design, something like this;

    Actually, I was wrong, it may be easy to do with vinyl wraps, not sure about the cost though. With vinyl wraps you can customize any design.

    Just a few examples but I'm sure you get the idea.

    Not too thrilled about the digital camo patterns... I prefer the traditional look. I have seen the wraps, they're pretty expensive, but not as costly as having it sprayed in a shop. I also saw a guy who airbrushed it right over the existing paint... looked good when he was done, but not sure if it will stay nice for very long..
    There's also the spray paint and stencil approach... which I may try to tackle.
