I think SJs look great in bright colours. They stand out anyway, so you may as well get a retina burning colour as well. (I'm not joking, you look at mine in the sun and it hurts.)

80s White, Canary Yellow, Radioactive Green, Ms. Scarlet Red, Dukes of Hazzard Orange. They all look great on zukes in my opinion, save maybe for bright green........ :mrgreen:

Think i will eventually do it black but for now i'll leave it and do a couple of other choice mods and leave the paint for the better weather.

As a two tone colour scheme it looks great, but I was thinkinng all by itself, but then again, Claas has gotten away with it for years. :lol:

As long as its not PINK.

On a serious note, i prefer to keep cars to the original colour , or a similar colour with a twist ( like custom paint jobs )

Their cant be many yellow SJ's around anymore.
If we were voting on it, my vote would be YELLOW
