spruce tip green ?

Is this spruce tip green? It looks shinier then all the other jeeps i see with it but could be just because of age or do you think this is modified with clear or somthing? Also it looked to be metallic is it a metalic from the factory? This is a 66 i beleive . And an unrelated question. With an off white hardtop would you paint the windsheild black or bodycolor or offwhite? Im thinking bodycolor. Thanks

 

mine was the green at orginally. the color is close, but seems a little lighter.

 

That's my favorite look for a jeep. White top and all. It looks like about the same shade I have on mine. While I am a paint job or two beyond orginal, I have tried top keep the original color. The original color code on mine is to a shade called Empire Blue - unless I have misread the color code charts.

 

Looks like our 67, I's vote for black windshield frame.

I would go with the black windshild frame also.

 

I'd keep the black windshield frame also.

 

im thinking its empire green at this point. I cant find a good pic of one though and its hard to tell from the paint chip samples online. Its gonna be a couple weeks before i need it. Hopefully i can figure it out by then. The spruce tip seems a bit darker and more flat. The empire looks to be more bright and minty like the dauntless engine color

It looks the most like willow green but the guy said it was the original color. And its a 53 color. I just didnt ask him what it was!

I originally went with body color on the windshields frame but switched to black I like it much better. Note on the pic the hinges are done in two tone, interesting but I like all black. just my 2 cents.

 

That sure is one nice looking jeep, you should be proud.

 

That jeep in the pics is Empire Blue Poly. Same original color of my 5a. Its a metalic color (or was). Spruce Tip is darker. I would go with the black windshield and hinges.

On a another note, anyone know whos Jeep that is in the pic. Very, very nice.

 

:iagree:

Go black on the windshield!

 

Thanks for the input guys! And Brad for confirming it Glenn do you have a good pic of your jeep so we can see the difference? Like i said iv seen plenty pics of them but they have all been old faded paint jobs. Also is the factory spruce tip metallic? Im still not totally convinced i want to do the windsheild black. I think itll look fine either way. I may just spray it body color and decide if i like it later. Or the other way around. I guess it depends how much some black paint costs. Ill have to dwell upon it some more. Thanks again

 

Its not mine. This one is

Wow they are soo simmilar! It makes you wonder why they offered 2 colors that were so much the same and only offered 12 at that. And youd think turquoise would have been out of style by 67. Not that i know cus im only 23 so i was but a twinkle in my fathers eye back then but you get my point

 

I know I’m digging up an old post, but the jeep on the opening post is beautiful. Some of you guys are really good at identifying tire/rim size and lift amount just from a photo. This is the look I’m after for a project. What do you think? Is that a 2” lift? Are those 31’s? 31x10.5? on 7” or 8” rims?

If the owner is on the board, would love to know more info.

Thanks everyone!

 

I dont think the owner is on the board. Im guessing its a 4". i think its a bit much for that size tire. i think theyre 31s
