So I have been thinking of doing something like this. My jeep is black and do not know which color to go with. Any Idea?

I ordered a can of Rescue Green from the dealer yesterday. I will be performing the mod this week. Hopefully somebody will beat me to the punch and post some pics.

I used silver on my black JK, looks awesome! Does anyone know how to remove the center console? Wanted to do some more painting.

yeah mine is black as well. I did a dark charcoal with sparkles that I got from home depot. I think it adds a nice settle look. Here is what mine looks like. Hope you like

By the way, thank you "revolucion!" for the link, .
just happy to help. i've learned alot from this forum and fellow jeepers, it's fun when i can give something back even though i didn't do the write up. plus i like seeing what you all do to ur rigs. i have a black unltd as well and not sure what colour i can paint my interior accents. i put in some red/black seat covers and i don't want to 'over red' the interior. so red is out. the existing accents are stock silver which i'm not crazy about. i got some overlay from a friend of mine that makes the centre stack gloss black, looks cool but i'm leary if i do too much gloss black it may start to look like the inside of an FJ! anyways, good luck guys and post pics of your work!
