The body color will be black, with a rampage "diamond spice" soft top (which is like a darker khaki color).

What color should I paint the grill?

1. Black
2. White
3. Grey
4. Wimbledon white

Yes, I know it is subjective. I am genuinely interested in the board's opinion.

Thanks guys!

1) not a fan of monotone paint.
2) distracting
3) the right shade I think would be best.
4) learning to like that off-white more and more. Someone got that shade right. This would be second pick.

For the grey, I'm thinking something marbled, like a hammertone finish.

Flat black or Argent but only if you have the brite grille trim.
If the brite trim isn't an option, maybe a fat pinstripe of the interior/top color?

Do a sample and don't be afraid to hate it.

I have the inverse of your paint scheme on a vehicle. Brown with black trim. I've been working on removing the silver trim and going black.

Why not paint it orange and do some orange accent stripes, like around the rims and around the raised portion of the hood.

I would think a subtly lighter shade of black could look really sharp. Just enough to recognize its different but the whole bronco still looks black

Matte or Flat black to just slightly contrast the body's gloss, but it really depends on the wheels for me. If you have black wheels, then the flat black. If you have alloy/silver/chrome wheels, then Argent. If you have white wheels, then go with whimbledon white.

Wow, can't thank you all enough for the answers. I probably should have asked this first, but should the grill (if contrasting) match the sheen of the body, or should the grill be a matte finish?

FYI The Bronco is NOT a sport edition.

@fordguy for some reason this item is never in stock. I found it on Bronco Graveyard back in 2022.
@AZ73 the wheels are chrome
@Speedrdr I LOVE this idea... not sure I am this bold tho LOL
@Dude 713 regarding pinstripes - would you go straight down the side of the body w/ a thin stripe? Just curious... I like this idea.

I like Argent grills weather its a sport or not. I also do like Wimbledon White but that is on a more stock build. Not a big fan of the grill the same color as the body. Nice thing is you truck is black and that goes with just about any color!
