Default what color to paint G6 recon?????

Hello, I just got me a Axial Jeep wrangler G6 and im trying to decide what color to go with. I have seen this truck in white, sand, tamiya red, blue, tamiya racing green, and silver. I was looking for other suggestions. Let me know what you all think on the color. Thanks!

Blue is my favorite. I was looking for somthing no one has done yet. To me the truck looks the best in white, but its still missing something.

I just did my ProLine F100 for my Axial Scorpion in Tamiya copper backed with white. That'w what I'm going to use for my G6 that I just bought on Monday. It looks really sharp.

I really like the Pactra Fiery Orange spray, look up some of the images on google, really "pops" . That will most likely be the color of choice on my next build, either that or the Pactra Lime Ice which is also decent looking.

Cheers,
Wade

The Tamiya copper looks cool, I don't have pics, but I used it as an undercoat on my Ram for that rust effect when it gets scratched, but in answer to your first question, it's an off road Jeep, paint it camo, come up with your own design, we all have our own designs, there's no wrong way to do camo.

My first time using photobucket. I hope it works.

Tamiya Copper metallic and Tamiya silver on the grille and bumper, backed with Tamiya white.

I'm having the same problem on choosing a color, I'm thinking of the tinted window paint backed with a metallic silver, or the translucent pearl backed with bright blue.
