Just an update after the new wheels.... Still my favorite color, but might have been tempted by the Sarge had it been available when I bought it.

As much as I loved this paint Iā€™m fully regretting my decision now. This thing looks great clean from 10ft away. But after a handful of offroad trips itā€™s been ruined. This paint shows scratches like no other.

This is true; I have a GCM JKR and it has lots of pinstripes. Any metallic colour is not the best choice for an off road rig, and the darker GCM shows more scratches.

Iā€™ve had a lot of success with Meguiarā€™s Scratch remover on the smaller pinstripes, but Iā€™ve come to accept some of them as battle scars.

I joined the club, picked this up last week, 2021 Willyā€™s.

Very nice. Is that a special hood for the willys? And nice rims

So if you had it to do over what color would you get? Iā€™m not sure it would be different with black or any of the other dark colors. I understand when spending that much money the color is a dilemma as we drive them on the streets more than we do off-road

Any darker color will show scratches, this is much better then black, but I have no doubt sarge will show the same, white seems to be the best for not showing, but in the end get what you want and donā€™t sweat the small stuff....In my opinion, GCM is one of my favorite Jeep colors, itā€™s deep, color shifting, and obviously very metallic.

@Atlpats do u have a front grill angled picture. Iā€™m thinking of adding a black grill but not sure if it will make a huge aesthetic impact since granite is dark anyways.
