Going to look fantastic! (already does) I'm excited to see it finished and it's not even mine!
That is such a great colour...

Got the jeep home tonight!

Still have a lot to reinstall but at least the ball is now in my court. They wanted to wait a week for the rubicon logos to go on, so that will be next weekend (and some other missing logos).

Looks great! The paint is still curing and outgassing (Solvents evaporating) so wait as long as possible to install decals to prevent bubbles from forming under then. I'd recommend 2-3 weeks you'll still know it's a Rubicon. Also the flat black looks great but will be more susceptible (Flat paints are more porous and don't sheet off water like glossy finishes do) to stains from mud and tree sap so be careful of that too. Looks like the shop did a great job for a great price also! Keep us updated can't wait to see the finished product!
