OK, the painty bits head off to the painter Friday and I'm still torn between colours
Factory pic on top, and options I'm considering in the 2 pics below, both Orange and Yellow/gold will be heavily be metalliced.
Opinions?

Ready to roll tomorrow
Both tanks are very clean inside and hopefully the one I use(left) will outlive me
A question for anyone who reads this and has a 750 J/K. How close is your Speedo cable to the headlight where the the groove/dent is indented into the bucket, If the dent wasn't there would the cable still clear the bucket? The reason I ask is that one bucket I have(for whatever reason) has had the dent beaten out of it, yet the rest of it is in better condition than the other 4 I have.

The brother likes it the same as you, the wife like the Gold........I'm still torn
I did just speak with the painter and he said he would be able to emulate the factory paint with a tint over the silver metallic
I won't be dropping stuff of tomorrow, though I do have a "work permit" to travel I can't risk a $5000 fine going outside of my 5km curfew area:(
But I will definitely drop the gear of in a week and a 1/2
