I know what you mean and can't wait to free up some space on the computer once I have the color down. Any ideas on the top?

Pinterest was brought up on another thread, but it's a great way to collect images from the internet and not take up space on your computer. It's a virtual pin board where you can create folders and keep all your ideas in one place. When you pin, it copies the web address so as long as the address is active you can click on the picture and it will take you back to where you found it.

www.Pinterest.com

Good luck finding your color! I like that green. I'm still trying to figure out what I want and I'm getting awfully close to paint day.

That's not the best picture since it's a picture of a picture on a computer. The color of the fender is different than the door and 1/4. I know it's the lighting but which green are you trying to match? If you are trying to match the door and 1/4 it looks to me to be Ford PA and the top and flares look like AQ. I have no idea the names of those colors but know them well. PA was used mostly on 90's Ranger's, Explorer's, Aerostar's, and Taurus and the AQ was used on lower 2 tone on F-series and main body color on the Taurus.

I found the picture by typing in 1976 Bronco, Green for sale I believe and it was already sold so I could not get any details about it. I will have to get over to PPG and see what they can come up with as well. Thanks for the color codes and I will look at those as well.

Here are more photos of the Bronco in this Link .

It says its a "Kevin Marti Documented Full Cab Ford Bronco". I think thats the Marti report guy. I could be wrong on that part. The good news is that the price is down to $28.5k , you could just buy it and then you don't have to paint at all ;D. Then your current Bronco becomes the hunting rig and your done! See how easy this is? Or as an alternative, the ad has a phone number that you could call and ask about the color.

That's a great idea, I'll just get the change out of my ashtray since they dropped the price.

Looks a lot like mine- especially in the close up of the bronco script. Dark Jade metallic- cant remember the code off hand, but it is a '77 Ford color
