I was just looking for a place to say “let’s call it a wrap” like they do on TV-
I’ve always wanted to say that.

If you tear it off in chunks you could just say it's camo, at least for a while.
Wraps are a short term solution, nothing more. I see it all the time with people buying cars they sit on for 6-12 months at a time and don't care for anyway.

Eh, maybe it's just the age but from the OPs photo it looks kinda matte and pretty cool. But both silver and white are probably my least favorite vehicle colors because of how common they are.
A little off topic but I saw a YT video the other day talking about how car paint colors reflected the optimism of the times. Periods like the great depression, the oil crisis of the 70s tended to have a lot of black, white, silver while the post war 50s and 60s, and the 90s had brighter colors. Then since around 2000 people just got too obsessed with resale value and now they want to buy neutral colors that will be easy to sell, and car makers are happy to provide that.
Well, I called around and talked to a few of the vinyl wrap shops in town and asked about getting them to finish up this job for me, but they really don’t want to unless they are putting a new wrap on it. So I started thinking and I might just get a funky color on mine, one that helps this jeep be unique and also will protect it from redneck pinstripes.
Maybe remove the Hi-Lift death projectile from the hood?
That is on my list of first things to do. Not a fan of the “look at me” hi lift jack on the hood. If you are actually wheeling a lot I can see it being a good spot up high and accessible if you are on your bumper or whatever, but I am not going to be wheeling a lot, or intensely…at lease I am telling myself that. I did buy a used jeep so I wouldn’t have the “I am not going out there with my 60K jeep to mess it all up”.
Wrap it in camo and nobody will ever be able to see you. 
I did the hood on my beater car about 3 years ago and it still looks good. I'm going to do my fenders, hood cowl and windshield frame in 3M flame red when the temps warm up.

I'm really glad that when I bought my Jeep, I opted for silver. I had no way of knowing at the time, but bright silver metallic is actually a decent match for the raw aluminum fenders that would eventually find their way onto my Jeep.
I will say I like the way metallics bring out the body lines in a way they just don't show with a one dimensional paint.
Got a lot done today… my old man body is letting me down though…
I like the silver better. Can you stick the pieces back on?
p.s. I've had a few white Jeeps.
maybe shoulda just lef t it on and like here get the darkest window tint you can get.
Then when that goes south will match the wrap.
And the yankee tan.

I see you’re in Michigan… we have family there but currently residing in Virginia… I’m about to order my first ever Jeep and sadly, I’m just not in love with the 2024 color options. Do you mind chatting about wrap costs and such? I’m super interested in wraps and certainly don’t mind a road trip “home” to have you do it for me!
Most recent thread a search brought up on the wrap topic so dredging it up.
I'm considering this kryptic camo as a wrap. It would cover the pinstriped black and match my ruff-tuff kryptic camo seat covers.
Yuk or yup?
