Default Aftermarket paint?

Has anyone painted there JK a different color other than stock? Maybe an off-color or something totally different. Vinyl wraps, whole-vehicle plasti-dips? I've seen a lot of CJ's, YJ's and TJ's sporting an aftermarket paint job but any JK's?

I'm asking because I'm thinking about plasti-dipping my jeep in a matte white for a temporary difference.

I've seen a couple pics of full Line-X paint jobs and some other flat black paint jobs. There are a few pink ones too. Not sure if pink was an option or not.
Here's a plasti-dip like product going on a VW https://vimeo.com/51555491

Glad someone else has began to wonder about this... I posted a thread a while back and got no answers. My question was concerning the rear tub and peeling. I wanted a professionals opinion on wether or not it's recommended to drill the welds to paint the tub and then re-weld and paint the upper lip. I hope people start chiming in, as I would love to see cool paint jobs.

Incase anyone cares to chime in, this is the lip I'm talking about and my concern is - after removing the soft top many times, will aftermarket start to peel? (owners of custom paint, ur experiences would also be appreciated)

I try to keep the pictures of pink ones away from my gf...she says "they are soo cute"

I'm actually a member on dipyourcar.com. see a lot of sporty cars on there but no JK's. I've also seen some camo wrapped jeeps. matte/flat black and the rhino lined jeeps. just seeing if there was anything else out there.
