Here's an official Jeep press shot of the 2012 Mountain Edition in what can only be Gecko Green. I gotta say, it's mighty damn bold. I was hoping for something with a teensy bit more yellow or silver in it. Something just a bit mellower than this. Hopefully this is just photoshopped, and not representative of the final shade of Gecko.

There's no way Gecko Green will be a different color in Europe than here. A paint code is a paint code. It's possible this is not Gecko. But if it is Gecko, then it's the same Gecko we'll be getting.

I'm so pissed I was told when I bought my jeep that half doors were an add on and I can't replace the full doors. Hear so many people getting their half doors with their jeep. If this gecko green looks good I'm trading mine in and or I want that 2.8 diesel engine.. Droools.

Not sure what you're saying here.

I have half doors on my 08 JKU Rubicon. There is no reason you can't order (or buy used) a set of half doors and throw them on your jeep.

I've seen both the website and the brochure that showed Gecko and it was a much more "mint" color than what you're showing here. I prefer the bolder green but I don't think that is the color you'll end up with. I'd also heard gecko was cancelled as a color so it's good to hear that is not the case.

I bought my jeep in black so I can re-paint it when a good color comes out. I'll be painting mine next year in Crush. Awesome color. If this green is as strong as the pic, I'd consider that color as well.

Here's a mock-up someone did using the paint chip on Jeep's website. I dig it.

I've got the unlimited 2012 rubicon in gecko on order, should be here in a month or so. I'll be posting many angles and many pictures if nobody else has once I get it. Black top black fenders. Can't wait. It should be a fairly loud colour based on the paint chip and samples i've seen on jeep.ca

Simply I wanted half door only.
