Silver color under the wrap. And being its really
a poly-plastic the shine of it will take longer to fade than clear coated paint.

Just my :2cents:

No, No wrap for me. I could tear down the Jeep and re-paint it for much less. I could have traded mine in on one and it would have cost less

I'm happy with what I got, if Gekko/NYG/sublime would have been available on the lot when I purchased it, I would have bought that then. As it is, I'm perfectly fine with the silver.

My first post here.... Still waiting for my new to me Jeep to get here, so I am not quite a real Jeep owner yet (I have been lurking here for a bit and I am getting a used '12). It is Silver and really do not care even though it's not my favorite color. I am going to wrap it soon after I get it. I am not sure where you are getting those super high prices for a wrap. Five years ago I wrapped my Tacoma with the 3M product and the material cost $900 including freight. That also covered my shell. I routinely take the Tacoma through manzanita and other pin stripe inducing scrub. This stuff holds up incredible. I priced the same material for a Jeep and it is $450-500. OK I have to do it myself, but it is really easy of you are handy at all and have a helper. Easy weekend project.
I know it's not a Jeep but here is what it looks like. This is a great forum and I have gained a tremendous amount knowledge lurking here and have much more reading to get current.

I do want to file a legit complaint. When I was shopping for a JK back in '08 - the market in my area of New England was flooded with Red Rock JK's. They seemed to sit on the lot longer here, and it seemed like every other JK that matched my criteria was Red Rock. I started my JK-search off by 'not caring' for the color, but after a few months grew to really dislike it.

For what it's worth that faded. I actually dig it now.
