I got a Classic 2 in August. I had a choice between red, white, or blue. I picked white.

Being a vet, I prefer my army colors in my vehicles and always come up short. I would love that OD greed or sand color. Anyway to find out what color code because I do plan on a complete tub off frame repaint in either color.

I saw one that was wrapped in OD Green. It looked awesome and cost was quoted at @ $800. Then if you want to change it later it won’t kill you on cost. Just a thought

I saw that too. And for $800! ? I thought about it and I'm leaning on painting it myself. Looking at my Rox, taking whatever is mounted, taking the tub off, sand and paint isn't really out of my capabilities. And paint wouldn't be more than $200. It'll eat up a weekend. I don't like seeing paint job which the engine compartment or underneath didn't match up. I like a clean job on the project and I've painted Jeeps as well as military vehicles. Lucky for me a flat military color doesn't require a paint booth.

Awesome. Make sure you post pics. Looking forward to seeing the end result.

Do not own
my concern is the paint itself. what kind of bare metal coating is used? I would hope that it's an EDP coating like on new gm parts? I know these vehicles have not been out very long but I can't help but wonder has anyone had any flaking issues. when I went to the dealer to look at one, the thought of how the paint flaked off my nephews radio flyer in about a year of use and outside storage came to mind. anyone spotting any rust starting, around the body seams or places where it got scratched or chipped? there seems to be rust issues with a lot of foreign steel. for example these foreign 55 gallon drums that we burn trash in, you can watch them rust away. heck I need a new one now. I also bought a water pump for a 454 from napa a few years ago and I don't care what you did to that pump the paint fell off. [overseas cast iron] I can't help but be a cynic about the quality of the metal and the painting process. my 2001 kubota tractor paint looks thin and primer less, it stays in the barn........mike out

Sorry if I misunderstood something, but don't they offer stock Roxors in OD or Sand?

When I got mine those colors weren’t available. Only white, red (orange), blue, black and a few grey.

You are correct Ol'schooljeeper they do offer them in OD and sand. I painted mine myself with Willy's OD green paint (it is a one stage lusterless paint) all I did was scuff the paint with a little scotchbrite type sponge or 320+ sand paper will work. I did mine in the USMC style, I am very please with how it turned out. Hope this helps.

That's the why it looks so gorgeous and original! Congrats!
Honestly speaking, your pics belong to my favourite!...

i303 I have an OD green roxor is there a paint code on the vehicle somewhere that I can assist with? Roxasurus I have to agree with ol'schooljeeper on your pictures. I think so far those are my favorite also.
