So I took pics of my jeep with the vents just set on there. Then I loaded the pics into photoshop with the hopes to photoshop them to the different options for painting. I started doing this and I in turn realized I'm no good with photoshop. So if any of you guys are really good with photoshop and have free time feel free to play with these pics and post it would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to have the holes cut vents painted and put on by the end of August hopefully this works out thanks __________________ '95 Country Stock....for now

Well here's my . You have a black bumper / guard or whatever you want to call it on the front. You could do what I want to do which is use a spray on bed liner to coat the trim on the bottom of your XJ. If you did that and then did the Semi Gloss Rustoleum like Adam suggested it would all match pretty well I think. Like I said, just my . __________________

Also, tried to shop it for you and I need a higher res image because you cant see all the ...slats?.. on the louvers and it just looks funky. __________________

This is going to blow your mind.... Paint the outside of the vents black. And then paint everyother louver red. So the outside would be black and then the louvers red, black, red, black... Crazy, I know. __________________ '99 XJ, 5.5" lift, 33" MT's '11 Dodge Charger I miss the days that they made toys that could kill a kid. Support our Troops My Pics and Specs My Build Thread

Now that I see them on the hood. I would paint them red. My reasoning is simple your lower trim color. Than paint your brushguard the color of the trim.

Now heres my crazy idea. Leave the guard black, paint the vents black, remove all gold color( plastic and flares), and paint bumpers black. This is a crazy idea cause your jeep is way too clean to do so.

I kinda like the idea of painting the vents red with the outter ring black(every other vent black red is a little to flashy for my taste) i can always try something and if i dont like it i can take the vents off sand them down and repaint themm

threeEs i did think about painting the brush guard the tan color but the paint on the brush guard is so clean its like i wanna paint it but dont wanna take off the good paint thats already on there

so maybe sometime in the upcoming months maybe before it starts snowing i may paint my jeep

oh yeah and cut the holes in my hood as well
