Boyink! - Spring Forward on the Web

Playing around with a friend’s CJ6 fire Jeep, just trying to get a concept of what SSDutch would look like re-done in the same color scheme.

Other color possibilities are the Gold Beige Poly, Prarie Gold and Beechwood from the 1966 color chip below:

Or this Champagne Poly from the ‘63-65 chip:

Near as I can tell, Dutch’s original color is either the Champagne or Gold Beige Poly (the large square of gold color in this pic is original paint showing through:

Visualizing color is hard, here’s an attempt to see what those four colors would look like on a CJ6 with a white soft top:

In Beechwood:

In Gold Beige:

In Prairie Gold:

In Champagne:

What I’m trying to figure out is what color this Commando is.  I’m leaning towards it being the Champagne.

   Looks good Mike, have you thought about a dark silver?

   All of those colors look good!  Let me know which one you decide so my Jeep doesn’t end up as S.S. Dutch’s twin!

   Mike-
   Jim Marski owns that Commando - he’d probably be happy to get the paint code off of it for you!  E-mail him here:
