I’m looking at doing a few cosmetic things to my 2006 Rubicon and have a few questions.

1) Where can I find factory touch up paint? It’s a 2006 so I think it’s Midnight Blue Pearl?

2) My hardtop is I believe Khaki, but has some oxidation in places or it looks a little gray? It’s in good shape, no cracks, seals well. I don’t believe my Rubicon came with it though as I don’t have switches for the wiper or defroster. Should I
- leave as is?
- raptor line it black/another color?
- have it repainted factory khaki?
- sell it and buy a frameless besttop?

3) I’m thinking about ditching the heavy rear bumper/spare carrier and going back to the tailgate mount and a tube bumper. What tailgate mount would you recommend for the JL Rubi wheel and 285/70 K02?

Pics for reference, thanks!

I think that's a grey hardtop...I'm not seeing any khaki color. Lots of ways to clean it up, but I just used a buffer and marine oxidation remover on mine. Personally, I think a khaki top on your paint color is a great combination, so a khaki paint job is certainly an option.

Edit: I might be wrong about the color. I did a little searching and found one like yours that refers to "dark khaki". But, this is the color combo I was talking about.....
