Hi mark, everything is painted. I didn't go halfway. the fender flares where painted beige by themselves and attached them to the jeep and painted the red.
It is the actual screen used color.
I'm really trying to make this one screen accurate. I'm still missing the front fogs and the winch, and also the green interior door panels with the leather pouches.
The Jabsco overhead light will be home next week. (these are pricey $$$$)

That Jeep must have been made before the high definition version of the movie was released. For years a lot of people thought that the color of the jeeps was silver/grey. As a result you see a lot of JP jeeps painted that color. As the movie got released in better and better quality, it became apparent that the color was actually a tan/beige color, not silver. The color just wasn't picked up very well on video tape or low quality digital releases. MartyP's is the true screen used color.

I have been thinking about what to get for my next movie car and would love to get a JP Jeep as my daily driver. But it looks like quite a bit of work to do the conversion. I am too impatient to put that much time into it. Maybe one day...

That Jeep with the D-Rex is a TJ, so that's far from screen accurate. But it all depends what you want.
You need a YJ (1992 to 1995) preferably already sand beige and preferably Sahara edition to have the side steps and right interior.
And rust will be your biggest issue here, as these thing DO RUST a lot, body and frame.
For the rest depending on which number you are doing, it is not really complicated. I went with the most complicated one with the overhead lights.
I'm doing mine as close as I can to screen accurate.
