I was able to take the tailgate out of the booth into the sun to take some pics. I wasn't sure how it would look in the sun compared to artificial light. I took them from different angles and the paint is different depending on the angle. I love it! Here are some shots in case anyone is interested to see.

Thanks for the reply! It is pretty cool. I can't wait to see the whole thing together and see what it looks like.

My buddy and I finally got everything painted and lined. I had no idea how much time and work that would be. Primer, paint and two different colors of Raptor liner. Time in between, resand and shoot again, man am I glad thats over!
Its done and thats all that matters. We had a few mistakes pop up and I am still extremely happy. This was never going to be a show rig, just a hunting rig and a daily driver. Here are a few pics.

Nice job. I love the color and the raptor liner looks really cool on the center of the grill.

I may have missed it, but what are the bolts in the door openings for, the extra three.

Thanks for the replies! Those three bolts hold the fender to the door post. I left bolts in there to keep paint out of the threads while we were spraying.

D.R.Y. Thanks for the complement. I thought about it for quite a while and changed my mind several times before I went the direction I did. Most of it was in the last day leading up to paint day. I hope it all comes together the way I see it in my head.
Thanks and Have a good one!

Well it took me a lot longer to get back to work on the Bronco. As usual life got in the way. I was able to start putting it back together. I got the fenders, grill, doors and tailgate put back on. I set the hood on for the pics to see what it would look like. I am super happy with the way things turned out.
Here are a few pics.
