alright as some people know ive been working on my samurai for about 3 weeks.. preping it for paint.. it had alot of rust and shit and thats all fiberglassed and bondoed and ready to go (have pics up tomorrow) anyways.. looking at it now im not sure if i should go orange like i was originally going to or go camo.. just because of a couple things first

i like orange alot.. it will look sick

body work needs to be perfect for orange

not sure if i should spray in the door inside area (like where the clips and seals and stuff are in the truck) or leave it the stock colour... fuck im so stressed

i need this thing done before school starts in 1 week... if i spray the interior too then i have to rip everyting out... everything is masked and ready to go for primer tomorrow just having a hard time choosing between orange and camo... i like orange better.. and im not going to be doing serious offroading.. but if i do orange then i will prob have to do in around the door area of the cab which will be a bitch.. GIVE ME SOME ADVICE! :barf: :barf: :barf: :mad3: :mad3: :( :( :(

How about an Orange Camo paint job.
Use Orange a couple of tan/orange colors & cream.
As for the inside, if you are stressed about it do just the door jams and the doors to the panel. Then if realy want next year you can gut he inside and paint the inside.

Orange is nice on a samurai.
Camo seems redneck IMO.

Camo seems redneck IMO.

I have been prepping my Zuke for Cammo. I have the paint all ready to go. It was my 14 yo daughter's idea, but I kinda like it. Yes, it seems Redneck or Red State-ish, but if people misunderstand, that's tough. I'm plenty redneckish in some ways (it's my heritage for generations), but as a Tree Hugger I jus doan fit in anymore. Real rednecks can't bear a diversity of opinion.

We have a lil clamshell pull-trailer for our gear that we will paint cammo also. I have some Centerline wheels on the Zuke... which will look kinda funny so I'm looking for some cheap steel wheels that I will paint. Then I will install my full cage, get a windshield folddown kit.. then my new rear bumper. I be STYLIN'!
