Personally, i would retain the original paint and decals as it is getting rare to find now a days to find those islander Jeeps with the original decals. If it that paint looks as good as it does in the pic. i would suggest a good coat of a clear coat to bring it back to life. Rattle can paint jobs are not easy to work with since they leave a trail of overspray as you do every pass on the surface and the final paint job. In the end it will look real cheap and unprofessional IMO. The only good looking paint job's i've ever seen out there out of a rattle can are the ones painted with a camouflage pattern and the solid dark olive green thats either a flat or matte finish, since it's a dull finish, you don't see the overspray as much if any.. I think the current yellow paint color gives it a good compliment with the black and the original decals and makes the entire Jeep just pop like a big rig. I agree that if you decide to paint it yourself, your better off investing on a HVLP paint gun and a compressor that will support the CFM demands for the paint gun to function and perform properly to get the optimum results on your project. I've painted several of my personnal cars from the past including airbrushing the flames and different themes and the most important part of the process is preparation work. You can be the best painter but if you have a shotty prep work, the whole thing goes with it. Just my opinion.
