Another update. So I've had a major delay. I may just leave it white and get red stripes. Anyone have any suggestions? I've been looking for a YJ instead but I think I'll just stick with this TJ. So I'll probably throw my decals on it and either paint or get vinyl red stripes. Disappointing that I can't have a sand beige Jeep, but I guess it is okay to be different, right?

You shouldn't leave it white. You could pick up a few cans of plasti dip tan and red and do it up that way. I have seen several plasti dip conversions that look darn good for the money. Also with the plasti dip option you can peel it all off and you are back to what you started with.

How much does plasti dip cost? And where would I find it?

Dipyourcar.com or you can find some colors locally at Lowes or Pep Boys. I did plastidip for the red striping and it came out great, but definitely watch some videos on application, as plastidip sprays and acts differently than spray paint.

I'm researching that but I do have a question. Since its white right now, and I plasti dip it to sand beige or whatever color is closest, then I apply the numbers on the side (the numbers are red) and paint over the numbers with power I dip, and then remove the numbers, will that also remove the tan paint I applies before? Or will it just remove the sticker itself and still be tan underneath the red? Hopefully you understand

It should still be tan underneath- the dip isnt super fragile, unless you really dig into it.
