Painted last week. Just need to color sand. Got some new flares and supertop. Now not sure if I should put flares on it. Also unsure about the black diamond plate rocker/rear corner gaurds either. (feel bad covering up that new paint!)

I like it nice job , take some pics when your all finish,motor and inside to.
My opinion Id get a nice new set of flares. Id sell the black diamond plate unless you plan on rubbing it up against some trees.
Then Id still skip the rocker diamond plate and add some sliders. That green looks great and will only look better when your done color sanding. Id show as much of it as I could. 
Reminds me a bit of my old '78.

Thanks for the advice. I got some new flares. Went with rugged ridge and got yj rears and cj fronts. Will take some pics if it would ever stop raining! How long do you guys usually wait after painting before sanding/ buffing?
