Default painted radio antenna
So as i was driving around the other day, my radio antenna was really bothering me. Why did jeep leave it silver? Today I broke out the rattle can of semi gloss black paint and fixed my little problem. It looks a lot better now and I can drive around more comfortably.

Default Nice!
Nice job! Now if you still have the stock wheels....strip, prime and black out those as well and hit up the exhaust when you get the chance. Only if you're into black wheels.

Have the black wheels already, need to grab some heat resistant flat black for the muffler/ exhaust this weekend.

Been thinking the same thing... only might go with powder coat for durability.

I didn't like the silver either, but I went and bought a shorty antenna. Think it's about 13" and rubber, doesn't whip against the KC lights either.
