    Hi all

    This is the time for something I did not do on the CJ yet. This is going to be a big project, very hard....

    Not really. In fact, I want to make my trusty CJ look good again. Here are some scratch and body damage I want to fix.

    Now the question. I want to change the color of my wheels, they are gold and I'm kind of tired to seeing them that color. So it is either gloss black, white as the jeep, or almond, à la Hatari!.

    What do you think ?

    Yup, I like white on white. I looked in the gallery after posting the question, and I saw your 6

    It does require keeping it clean..;) Wheels I usually clean up with a quick shot of WD40 and a rag:

    I hear ya...have had second thoughts myself but the interior is done -- and while the white looks good in a photo it is just a rattle can job and you can tell. Plus I want to get rid of the rough chipguard stuff the exterior tub has under the paint.

    So yes, it will be gold.

    (Sorry for the hi-jack Bob).
