going to paint
painter aka brain called today and said he'd be ready for the bronco by wednesday and now i'm questioning my paint color choices . i hate this feeling i want it to look different than most but not stand out like a sore thumb . my major problem is accent color on flairs and bumpers don't want white or black bumpers .

Re: going to paint
I am going gray bumpers , flares, and gray interior to be a little different.
After meeting Brain, I have no doubt that what ever color(s) you choose will turn out awesome.

Re: going to paint
The scariest part of getting paint done. Of course, no matter what color you pick it will be awesome...it's a Bronco!

Re: going to paint
Brown with beige or an off white. Thats what my 79 is. They actually go together really well. The brown that I have has a bit of gold metallic in it. When it was a fresh/new paint it was beautiful.

Re: going to paint
Hey 777 - At the Auto Body tech class you were thinking about an airbrushed aircraft metal panel and rivet look on your paint. Sounded awesome! Is that still on the table?

Re: going to paint
I totally understand - a Bronco too nice to leave the garage would take the fun out of it. Excited to see what color you selected.
