I purchased my Jeep with a few dings and scratches and have incurred another nice door ding the other day so I will be painting my beloved Jeep within the next couple of weeks and I'm having a difficult time deciding on what to go with. It is currently white, which is more of an off-white if anything. When I was looking for the Jeep, I really wanted to get it in black, so black is my first option.
However, I kind of want to do something different. So that brought up either a flat (matte) black or a gunmetal gray. So I thought I would ask you guys what you all thought. Here's an initial pic of what my truck looks like as of now. I need to take another pic though as I've added chrome door covers and black rain guards as well.
Not exactly a fan of the wheels on this but a good example of Matte Black on a Jeep...
Best example I could find of what I mean by Gunmetal...
I do not see any flaws in your paint. I have so many scratches (from the trails) in mine. I would stick with white unless you are getting a legit door jambs and all paint job that is going to cost a lot of money. Then in that case I would do Jeep Rescue Green.
Someone had pics up of a Commander repainted like that, it looked like a magazine or club vehicle.
If you go flat paint or black, something to consider for the CHROME; BLACK CHROME. Ever seen polished hematite, Black Chrome looks like it, very shinny like chrome, but has a black base, at some angles it looks silver/black, other angles like super glossy wet black and other angles like silver reflective chrome with a black base underneath.
Have you considered doing a Wrap? A Friend of a Friend had thier G8 wrapped in matte black, It turned out frickin sweet! Plus if you were to get tired of that "Trend" Its easy to switch it up unlike a complete paint job?

I've decided I'm going to paint my sportbike the matte black first to see how it turns out and then make my decision on the truck after that. The guy is only going to charge me $250 for the bike, so not really losing out on it anyway. Even though it's my favorite color, black/yellow, I'm kind of bored with it now and want something unique (in Memphis) that no one else has really done.
I have a 2006 Jeep Commander 4.7 v8. I've had the truck for a few years now. Over the summer the ABS light, my traction control light, and service 4 wheel drive system all turned on. The now ex-boyfriend took it to a friend of his shop and they supposedly fixed it but it came back. And of course...
Saturday morning, we had our first cold snap in No.Va. and I usually head 45 minutes down the road to fly RC airplanes just south of Fredricksburg. So, 5 minutes after I get on 95 south I see the check engine light on the dash, but a check of the gauges and listen to the engine provides no...
I have a 2008 3.7 v6 and we started with a P0300 random misfire code we replaced all the spark plugs. The person helping me forgot to plug in the mass airflow sensor we did not know this. we then continued to get the P0300 code so we ordered all the ignition coil sleeves. We replaced those...
So I bought my 07 jeep commander a couple months ago. When I looked at it I made sure the ac and heat worked and there didnt seem to be a problem. About 2 weeks ago I turned on my heat for the first time since buying it. Came on immediately and was great. Next day turned on my ac and it was just...
