Oh yeah....up north rust! I have seen some crazy things on newer cars up there when visiting family. The only thing to do is wash it after every snow. How can you do that? How do you combat rust?

This looks great- what paint did you use as your main color? It's a really cool take on the standard Sand Beige deal... I was looking for something slightly greyish tan myself. Looking for some ideas.

thank you so much!! :) the garage that painted it for me couldn't get the sand beige so I had to pick another color, so I went with a jeep color arctic grey!!!

Wait- so there's no tan in that at all? It's simply arctic grey- it almost looks like a touch of beige is mixed in there, maybe just my mind playing tricks on me. I might go for that color then. If the sun hits it, it almost looks like a blend of the two colors. Which is ideal for me. Thanks.
