Default Paint pigment shortage
So many of the paint colors are now on hold with a Xirallic shortage. Didn't see a thread on it but heard about it on the radio. Colors affected are blacks, reds, and even bronze star. Sounds like detonator yellow will be a big seller this summer...

Resale value bump for those colors? Seems possible for someone that NEEDS one of those colors.

doubt it... Black, red, silver are the only colors of jeeps available most place... I wanted orange, but dealers areound here only order the basics... They appeal to a greater audience... the figure that folks will always 'settle' for one of those colors... and I guess I proved 'em right :/
