Convince me to go Brown.

[hammer]

Still tossing around paint colors. My front runners have been these two greens for a while now.

Have you looked at the Scion green from 05ish?
Its tough to go brown with so many other cool colors out there but I have seen some real nice ones. The new mini clubman comes in a sweet metallic brown and looks pretty good with silver trim. I think it is called Hot Chocolate.
Although my favorite brown is the tan from the old plain m and m's that they eliminated to put in blue grrrrr!

I'm worried the greens will date themselves and will wear off there luster ten years from now.

That being said I love a brown 4x4. A guy that runs around here locally has a restored late '70's f250 in a brown that is gorgeous. Yet for some reason i can't convince myself to paint my restoration brown. To me brown is something you get stuck with not something you choose. Yet I think I can see myself driving a nice brown bronco when I'm 55. The green......not so much. Haven't really found a brown that jumps out at me. I was driving through a parking lot yesterday and saw one of these;

I saw this mustang and swore it was brown. After some googling it turns out its "mineral grey metallic". Thought it might look sharp.

Also been a fan of this rig; close to brown

Also a fan of these; defiantly brown

Haha, I took that picture ;D ;D ;D

That is/was Scott (swa0330)'s diesel Bronco. I didnt like the color at first but it really grew on me and is pretty nice. I can get the code if needed I think from Scott. I call it Brown Gold ;D

There are some pewters that are a little more brown than grey out there. Trying to think of one I saw lately.

Yah if you could get it its defiantly on my short list. Do you have any other pics of that rig? Perhaps one from the front? Does he have an argent grill on it?

 

[Tito]

I sure do, let me look.

Here are a couple from SOB last year.

Yes, go brown because the Kiwi Metallic is at the top of *my* paint list.

 

[Heus33]

If its brown flush it down!

Unless you go with somethimg totally obnoxiuos, like bright yellow, neon green, or pink (sorry tito ;D ) i dont think you will have a problem "getting sick of it" those greens are more than subtle enough to last a lifetime on a Bronco. But the browns are nice too...

Brown and gold would look great:

Do It!

The Stang & swa0330's colors are very cool. I saw a new Honda Accord in that color yesterday & thought to myself how good that would look on a Bronco with a white top (like swa's). I'm just 1 opinion but it's probably my favorite color on an EB.

 

[Bronco69Sport]

Tito, if you could, please find out that paint color for me... The brown with the white top you are posting pics of. Thanks

 

[Scrapper_MV]

What can Brown do for you?!

I love Brown!

 

[JEFF76P]

Now thats what I call brown !

 

[cgbexec]

I was just about to say don't do brown, but I have changed my mind. In fact I have quit my job and I seeking employment with UPS so that I can drive a brown truck all day long. Anyone know what city the above young lady works so that I can get a few pointers. ;D

 

[71 LUBER]

Mmmmmm.....cameltoe.

Mineral Gray is my all-time favorite color on a mustang. It looks so sweet when the light hits it just right. A buddy of mine had one that he sprayed a very light coat of blue peal on, and when the sun hit it just right, it had a kinda purple color to it...it was awesome. Looks excellent with black accents and chrome wheels.
