I need help with picking paint!!!!

[hardcharger]

ok so the tub has been in the bodyshop for 10 days already and its getting crunch time to pick color scheme.

as of right now my plan is dark titanium obviously black flares, black bumpers, black wheels.


here is the questions?

top color? shiny black, flatte black, or white?

to whoever's truck this is very nice, lol your truck was my inpiration although i'm goin a little darker color. if anyone is good at photoshop you mind doin a couple renderings of top color on this pic?

and then for the grill and tailgate i was thinking flatte black grill and bronco script on tailgate. my bodyguy doesn't quite agree with me. need your guys input please.

here is my truck before.

hood scopp as well is under scrutiny; black or white? pending top color. i was thinking titanium truck black grill, scoop, tailgate, lattering, wheels, bumpers etc i like dark trucks but he thinks it will be too much. opinions?

basically to look like this but titanium

I think flat black would look badass, but I am kinda weird and usually choose flat black over glossy black anyway. I just think it looks mean.

Dark Titanium, Black Flares, Black Wheels, and a tough Flat Black top. My god, that would be sweet.

i think if we do straight flatte black it would fade too much, mabye a flattened black with flatte clear? or should we do shiny black?

this is closer to the color i picked.

thanx to those of you who's pictures i'm using, lol

I struggled to the point of madness trying to pick paint so I sympathize with you. I think your color scheme is great. Do a Google search for SEM Hot Rod Black Images. The color is not flatt and not high it's a semi that is closer to flatt. I think it would be really nice with your base color.

If the grill is going to be the same color as the rest of the vehicle i would paint it the top the same color or a satin black. I think it would look good with a metalic white grill and top. Are your wheels going to stay chrome?

I got to say that Jeff's Bronco looks badass, but thats just me LOL. Im a auto painter if you go with flat black make sure you have it cleared, it will last alot longer. I have never had one come back faded or peeling. But remember if you scatch it you cant buff it out. I use Spies Hecker paint, its cost a little more but well worth it.

I had the grey and black theme at one point. i would have went with a black top had I kept it this color.

shiny black top

 

[ugly74]

black flares, black wheels. any of the body colors you picked out are good. they look real nice shiny, but I'd hafta go with a matte finish all the way around

 

[hardcharger]

the wheels are goin to be painted gloss black till i get a new set of actual black wheels. i just think the white hoodscoop will stick out a lot more then the white top. i think a white top won't look bad, but not neccarily what i want. i really like that sem hot rod black, yeah won't be able to buff out scratches but really its a bronco, and i am goin to crawl a bit with it so.... hmmmm

I have 2 old school colors.

the body will be shiny the top is the thing underreview i found a couple more pics i'm trying to upload to photobucket right now. my bronco picture folder is fairly large from 4 years on this site

Yea, I met the guy who built that RC car this weekend. That is also his Bronco in the first pic.

 

[hardcharger]

the orange one? i knew the third one was, i'm not a fan of the chrome ring on the wheels but its the closest i can find to what i am thinking.

i think if we do straight flatte black it would fade too much, mabye a flattened black with flatte clear? or should we do shiny black?

Dude, that is a awesome color. I was thinking of a color like gun metal gray, but now I want this color. I actually painted my interior metal parts all matte/ flat black as well as the roll bars and front grille. Came out real nice. Good luck on your choice.

You're in SD and you're going to put a hard top on? I'm sure you have your reasons and I'd like to hear them. I think a white soft top would be great.
