Default What color to paint older Jeep?

Hey guys, this weekend i'm going to pick up an older jeep cherokee from a guy near me for a beater. It is currently black but of course fading pretty good. I have a friend that does painting and such, and I will be able to do it whatever color I want for a really good price. I'm not looking for a show quality job, just something to make it look decent.

So the question is, what color do you think would look good on it? I do not want to paint it white though...I thought about doing it Suzuka to match the s2k, but i'm not sure how it would look on the jeep.

**These are not my pics, these I just took off Ebay from a random jeep, but its the same style and everything**

Suzuka, have a matching fleet. Although that might look lame on a Jeep.

Yeah it would be really cool to have them matching, but I just don't know how good it would look on a Jeep, i'm not sure if I would like it or not.

I'm having a hard time picturing it in anything but black, but if you want to get crazy, you could try the Metallic Orange from the Vette.
