Awesome! Thanks for the color chips pdf WCDAVE and ndrugby!

Looks like paint codes are in parenthesis after the name... and it looks like the wrangler is 3?

I'm looking for pictures of the paint on other Chrysler products...

Looks like Gecko was Cactus green pearl? http://photos.ebizautos.com/8727/6968753/6968753_1.jpg

Winter Chill was Normandie blue... can't find a picture...

Black Forest Green Pearl was Frosted Green Pearl... can't find a picture either. :P

Someone correct me if I'm reading this wrong...

To me, Crush looks more like a super bright "hunter/safety" orange. Header almost looks like a slightly rusty orange color. Very similar, but Crush is definitely more in your face. The Dozer is a deep yellow with a slight orange tinge to it (like a Bulldozer CAT). I find it odd that there would/will be 3 colors THAT close to each other though. If I had to pick between those three colors, it would have to be Dozer for me. I am intrigued by some of the other colors that are yet to be seen though (Gecko/Winter Chill).

Great, thanks for the review! Anyone know where the best place to order from near Maryland would be?

Well, Header is not showing as available on the Wrangler, so you really just have Crush and Dozer, but until you can eyeball actual paint samples, it's too hard to say. Probably still go with Sahara Tan.

My Dealer agreed to -1% below invoice but won't go below that. They also provide free oil changes, inspections, rental car and other goodies. Their Service Dept. is second to none in my book. The Sales Mgr. used those 'freebees' as justification of not going the extra 1%. Should I push harder or is 1% below invoice good to go with? I have no idea of the difference between window sticker and dealer invoice to know how much I will save by getting 1 or 2% off invoice. My Dealer will accept Tread Lightly discount but won't add anything to that.

Would you guys go with -1%, push harder for 2% or find another dealer?

1% is only a few hundred bucks which you will likely be financing at a stupid low rate. The freebies are good as long as they don't pile on when you bring it in for service. You might ask for a one year "discount" on accessories - 30% (they are marked up ridiculously), that way they still make money and you get a better deal on stuff you woulda bought anyway.

I work for a non jeep dealer and can tell you that the relationship you build with a dealer is worth more than the few bucks you would save elsewhere.
