Tito, are you keeping this Bronco. You're first post was to sell it so does it matter if it matches the Excursion?

I'm voting for the green. Not because the blue wouldn't look great but because I know you wanted a geen one. Also, I never liked the Wimbledon White on anything but earth tones. Just my opinion but GM/Toyota white goes better with blues. Wimbledon White has sort of a caramel color.

Then why not 2010 Mustang Grabber Blue? If you go to the ford dealership to see the color on a stang, you will want it.

I'm a fan of this idea.. There are so many blue ones out there, and the color you picked, although it looks good, just doesnt stand out to me.. The green is what I found behind my dash and it nearly knocked me over, its really a bright color. I've never seen a whole truck done in person, but I'd definitly want to before painting mine back that color.. Now, for me, I tend to like the darker colors so my perspective is probably a bit more different than yours.. I like the grabber blue, but would prefer a light 1950's olive drab, if I had to stay light.. Being into Harleys, I'd have to compare it to the color they used a couple of years ago. This isnt the best pic, but you can get the idea..

You dont want to know when I got this project...it was supposed to be a 3 month flip but turned into a 3 year mobile parts carrier till now. Looking forward to driving it. Hope it settles down a bit lower, its really tall.

Once you get the bumpers on and all the interior and top it should settle some. Your really moving now. Im hoping to set the tub on my 73 project on tomorrow, thats if I can neglect my fall yard duties some more.

You got a pink one. You need a blue one. That's too easy to figure out.

I vote light blue if you're keepin' it. That'd look awesome next to your wife's rig! I have a buddy that rolled on herculiner over the entire outside of his FSB and it looked like, ahhh, shit! So.... don't do that.

Yeah Zombie, Regshawn and I have a buddy that did that too...super scratchy! Fits his personality ;D

Thinking its going blue even though I like the green. It would match the wife's so very very well as Bax said. Might see what the paint shop can do for me mixing something up that is a non-metallic but real nice. I like the reef, will be along those lines.

Bluebuck, I should have the room to do the painting in the garage although I am sure the wife would love for me NOT to do it there. Have a friend at church that said we might be able to use the booth at his work.

Zombie, yeah, Bakersfield green is truly a dull shade of tan.

Need to make a dolly for my spare tub tomorrow, got to get it out of the garage so I can go to work!!! Wife gave me a couple work days this week!

Got a little work done today, built a dolly for my spare tub, need to get it out of the way so I can do some body work.

While cleaning up the garage I decided to set my buckaroo hood on the new project....hmmm...this thing isnt going to be very stock anyways, whadya think? That hood is so sweet! It fits all my explorer parts underneath it too without mods.

Need to roll it outside to get a better look but I dont have help getting it back in right now.
