See this Table Row Rendering made by Camick. It'll solve your problem.

You can use his method createAlternating for rendering the colors of the row.

  private JComponent createAlternating(DefaultTableModel model)
  {
    JTable table = new JTable( model )
    {
        public Component prepareRenderer(TableCellRenderer renderer, int row, int column)
        {
            Component c = super.prepareRenderer(renderer, row, column);

            //  Alternate row color

            if (!isRowSelected(row))
                c.setBackground(row % 2 == 0 ? getBackground() : Color.LIGHT_GRAY);

            return c;
        }
    };

    table.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(table.getPreferredSize());
    table.changeSelection(0, 0, false, false);
    return new JScrollPane( table );
}
