keep original paint?
I have a '73 Thing in orange. The paint is pretty good overall with a few
spots showing a little white undercoating. Is there any particular reason I should keep it in the original paint? Does it have a great effect on resale values? I was thinking of having it done in Desert Camouflage, on the door I was going to recreate Rommel's Afrika Korps insignia but instead of a swastika on the palm tree I was going to put the Lone Star flag.

However, I would stay away from personal statements (such as the flag or swastika). Just my opinion. If you're going to re-spray, prep is 99.9% of the job. Speedy Jim http://www.nls.net/mp/volks/ |

I would suggest Vinyl Decals if one wants to put stuff like that on it, but
if you have no long term plans to sell I say paint it on! "Speedy Jim" > wrote in message . com... > brassbend wrote: > >> I have a '73 Thing in orange.
