Paint Color Ideas

The title says it all! 1996 Disco currently Alpine white w/ mismatched fenders, custom front black bumper, w black wilderness rack. Not really sure what direction I want to go just seeking opinions. It is not a dd and is used for everything from week long expo trips to one day trail rides on the banks of the Mississippi. I know some will say leave it but I have my second child due in December if I don't do it now it will be put on the backburner and I am sure my wife will find another use for funds! Let me know what you think and thanks in advance for your input!

A white disco is a fine thing. I'd put the money into repairing the paint. A pic would help.

Whatever you do, do not paint it flat black like every other ************ with a can of plastidip does. It doesn't look 'stealth', it looks like ****.

Sticking with alpine white is a good choice. A more modern LR color like Nara Bronze or Fuji White would be cool to see.

I quite like the deep metallic blue the D2 came out in. However the realities of a dark colour make me no fan in general. Scratches, dust, dints all show twice as easily. So in the end I'd votes white.

Same goes for Sandglow. It doesn't look 'Camel Trophy', it looks like a poser.

I am leaning towards the Fuji White and don't worry the plastic idea is not even an idea! And no offense to whom ever has done that but I think it is a crappie idea any way! The new UK has a white that is pretty slick but I am not sure if my painter can mix it, he uses a single stage enamel with a clear coat. Thanks for opinions! I will post pics of before and after when I get closer to completion.

I rattle canned and did the Spray Gun/roller method on my Truck this is Rustoluem White Auto Paint it is much whiter than the Factory "Alpine White" Did it in two weeks as I wanted it to look good lots of wetsanding she gleams.

I think white is the best color for those.

Plus, in my opinion, changing the color can end with the vehicle goofed up, as some of the original color is sometimes still visible in the interior spaces.

I really like the colour. Oslo Blue.

I had 2 Freelander's painted that colour and it was a superb shade. If i could afford to. I would happily repaint my Disco 3 that colour.
