Black Black Cherry VS. Burnt Orange Paint

[Millerluck]

My mind is starting wonder away from Black Cherry. A Black Black Cherry that's black and shiny most the time unless the sun hits it just right.

VS.

Burnt Orange. I want it to really POP after all the hard work we've put into redoing it.

The Jeep still has lots of black bits and pieces in the interior. Will it look good with black cherry? Or would the black and factory tan colors go better with a Burnt Orange?

Help me decide.

Thanks

Larry

[jaber]

I didnt vote 'cause I like both colors....

Black Cherry, maybe some color pics would help us.....

[Long&Low]

Take a long look at the Inca Gold they used on TJ's for one year only. I think it was used somewhere between 2002 - 2004.

[Millerluck]

I like this GM Color For the Black Cherry

Burnt orange will def go better with the interior and it will also pop much better... guaranteed... like my yellow does...

[RTFM]

Just a thought but Chevrolet Corvette uses "Atomic Orange" that is brighter, more shine and color depth that the Jeep burnt orange.

[men in black]

Seams burnt orange is the new Hot color :thumbsup:

even my PS Cherokee two door conv. was burnt orange.

[NVJEEPER]

Yep, all that work deserves something different and special. I'll miss the familiar look and Burnt Orange seems cool, may need more Chrome tho:thumbsup:

[KaiserMan]

Are you replacing the wood? If so then I would go with the black cherry, and if no would I would go burnt orange.

[HD_JEEP]

Black cherry by far. The only orange I like is Harley Orange with Black accent

[mattmopar440]

BK Cherry is a good color but I like the orange a little better :thumbsup:

I like the black cherry, only because it's not a color you see daily. So long as it isn't light enough to be mistaken for "maroon".

[rebeljeep]

I voted burnt orange. My color is similar...sometimes looks copper (2005 Infiniti color). I have caramel colored interior, couple of black items. compliments it well.

Rebel nice color, is it really an Infinity color?
I like it.

[Millerluck]

RTFM that looks Sweet!


Wow looks nice Rebel.

Can't wait till the wife gets home and show her I'm not that Crazy for even thinking of Burnt Orange.

Feels like it's going to be a taste's great VS. less filling deal.

Rebel's truck may have really tipped the scale.:thumbsup:

Thanks

Larry

[krek]

Orange is overdone... go with Black Cherry. :p:p

[fireman91186]

I think that black cherry would look really good. And a little different.

And I am an orange fan.

[jaw knee]

i vote black cherry and tan..

[Eric Flewelling]

Hmm... Two-tone would be interesting... Black Cherry is an awful dirt magnet... but Orange absorbs the dirt well... I wonder if you could do Orange below the wood and Cherry above... or if it would clash... hmm... Doesnt seem like it would work...

[rebeljeep]

"Rebel nice color, is it really an Infinity color?"

Yes, thanks!: Liquid Copper (2005 Infinity). Silkens clear coat paint job.

"Rebel's truck may have really tipped the scale."

Glad to help!

[2003 mcs]

I really like the FJ's Black cherry, if I were to go orange, I would go Corvette orange........Nothing against Krek (I really like his color combo:) ), but I would go black cherry for the sake of being unique. Krek owns orange, cu4whln owns yellow, red mistress-owns red. You never forget their trucks or their colors.:thumbsup:

[suzq044]

and hopefully.. i will own blue :D lol

[shiner2001]

I voted Black Cherry. From my avatar, you can probably tell why. Actually, I voted "not burnt orange." Although Black Cherry sure is sweet.

[pineymike]

:banghead: Paint it Satin black Please!{I voted blackcherry}:thumbsup:

I like the black cherry, only because it's not a color you see daily. So long as it isn't light enough to be mistaken for "maroon".

I have the same FJ and the color is "Wild Cherry". I was going to paint my GW the exact same color combo, they would look great together on a trail, but by the time I finish my build the FJ will be long gone. :(

[yoslvr442]

if you want to go a step further you can do a brandywine. ive seen some fifties lead sleds with it and it is awesome. im not into the burnt orange. love the color but its on EVERYTHING!! from lambos to a ton of ricers. i like unique so i voted black cherry.

[Belteshazzar]

I feel like I recently saw an FSJ on this site that was BOTH of these colors, or close anyway.:confused:

Unless it's going to be a show truck, I'd pick something other than black (or black-ish). function over form

[krek]

I don't "own" orange... somebody here pained their FSJ a very similar color long before the SuperChief.

I'm not trying to talk you out of it, but the color is overexposed.

This color rocks!

[smearig]

I'm with Krek, the burnt orange fad seems to be nearing the played out phase. I'd go with the Black Cherry or that crazy chartreuse green on the new JK Wranglers. I can't wait for somebody to paint an FSJ that color so I can see what it looks like.

[purduesd]

I'm with Krek, the burnt orange fad seems to be nearing the played out phase. I'd go with the Black Cherry or that crazy chartreuse green on the new JK Wranglers. I can't wait for somebody to paint an FSJ that color so I can see what it looks like.

I second the green, i tried to get the wife to pick it on her JK. She ended up with black...

[Tonka J200]

When picking a color for a vehicle, I ask myself how long I'm going to keep it. If it were a short timer that I wanted maximum "WOW" factor, I'd go for a current, trendy color. But if it were something I plan on keeping for a while, and keeping in nice shape, I'd pick a more timeless color - so in your case I voted for black cherry.

Think how you'd feel right now if you'd redone a car about 15 years ago and painted it the bright teal that was very popular back then. Even if you took really good care of it, it'd look really dated and old now. Bleh...

[krek]

Well shoot... now I want to repaint my project Black Cherry... :p

[2003 mcs]

I don't "own" orange... somebody here pained their FSJ a very similar color long before the SuperChief.

No you really do (think De Niro Analyze This), you're good..........I merely rent crappy faded gray (was silver).

[fireman91186]

Well shoot... now I want to repaint my project Black Cherry... :p

What are you waiting for?

[Millerluck]

Thanks everyone.

Tonight I seen 2 little Pontiac cars parked... burnt orange on the way to get taco's for dinner. In only 2 blocks.:eek:

Maybe it is over done.

[sappy76]

Stay away from metallic paint. When you need to repair the rust or the rock rashes, it's a lot easier with solid tones. I just got done changing the color of my Chief from Gun Metal Blue/Gray to California Red. I agonized over the color choice for months when I lived in CA and finally decided on the Metal Gray. Two weeks after getting it back from the painter I saw a red Cherokee and I wanted to kick myself for my choice.

When I moved back to Michigan I started popping rust. Since I didn't feel that I was going to be able to match the spray pattern of the metal flake, I decided to completely repaint it. There are a million shades of red and since my jeep came from Cal I decided on California Red.

In my opinion, go solid, go bright, and don't over analyze.

[MajBob]

Black baby! :cool:

[FSJK]

Sunburst Orange from the new JK's

[rebeljeep]

Fad or not, I've always been a big fan of orange (grew up watching Dukes of Hazzard) . My J10 originally came with white lower level/gold color from trim up and in the engine bay and interior. The copper color ended up not being a large jump in color.

Black, not exactly black cherry, shows dirt super quick. My dad has got a all black (everything...think lightning) Ford dually and is dirty 99 % of the time just from his dirt driveway..even after one trip. Looks awesome clean tho.

With that said for your wag I think Black Cherry would look good tho. Chromeanator's Wag looked awesome as a dark colored rig. Either way a paint job is better then no paintjob :thumbsup:

[JPSwapMohn]

NNNOOOO!!!!

My GW plans are to go with Rescue green or something close with the thin 70's wood grain on the side. Granted, someone else will probably get there before I can..

Dark or Burnt Orange has always been one of my favorite colors.

I'm with Krek, the burnt orange fad seems to be nearing the played out phase. I'd go with the Black Cherry or that crazy chartreuse green on the new JK Wranglers. I can't wait for somebody to paint an FSJ that color so I can see what it looks like.

[suzq044]

I was thinking the Blue version of Jeep Green for mah Cherokee.

[deadironrat]

My wagoneer is pretty much black cherry, would you like me to wash it and snap a pic?

[Millerluck]

Sure

Thanks

Larry, if you can find a pic that's similar to what yours will look like I can try out some colors with photoshop.

[cajunKen]

What he said!

http://jubileejeeps.org/faqs/91gw3.jpg


Never mind, flint beat me to it. Thats the exact same color as mine.

[silvercert]

Or you could just call It Go-Mango... Then the burnt orange is not over done!!!!!

[Millerluck]

Going woodless.


Thanks

Larry

[Ghinmi]

Going woodless.

I think they make a little blue pill for just that problem. :lol:

j/k, I think yours will look great without wood. :thumbsup: Can't wait to see it!

[Snowbird_Hunter]

I think it depends on how well the body work is done.

Darker colors mean the body needs to be in a more perfect condition. A lighter color can hide more imperfections. So from that view point, and only having the two choices, I would say the orange ....

But the cherry looks SOOOOO SWEET ......

[gotgas]

Burnt orange!

Just a thought but Chevrolet Corvette uses "Atomic Orange" that is brighter, more shine and color depth that the Jeep burnt orange.

[Ristow]

looks real good.

[twisted frame]

Wow those lines are super straight. Looks awesome and it's always cool to see those aftermarket turbines you got. Are you going back in the dunes with this when it's done?

[Bill Moore]

of course Alabama is burnt orange or crimson, this year burnt orange

[Tigger4X]

Now that is one sweet paint job my friend! :thumbsup: Its got me thinkin I might wanna try that is a deep blue. :cool:

[billyj7175]

Wow...veeerrry nice! The only unfortunate thing about the Black Cherry is that pictures never really do it justice. You have to see the thing in person, in direct sunlight to really get the effect. Then it just blows you away.

When I first bought my Harley, I was sorta disappointed in the paint, as it sorta had a "bass-boat" look to it with all of the metal flake. It didn't take long though, as the color really grew on me.

[Millerluck]

Thanks everyone.

I was going to get new rims this summer.....but the other Jeep bled me dry. I want to get chrome wagon wheels and go back to a 31x10.5x15 tire.

Yes, I'll be hitting the dunes next summer with it.

Later
