I defiantly think that straight up brown is out of the question. Like brown crayon brown. I don't want to end up with a boring brown truck like this;

I've been looking for a color that is a modern twist of colors we would have had in the 70's. That Honda Kiwi definitely has that character. Then I saw one in the sun the other day and it really lit up. I kind of got sold on it right then and there.

But, yeah, cameltoe good............

Well seeing how the topic of this thread is, "convince me to go brown", I'd have to say you guys are taking it in the "screw brown, go honda kiwi green" direction. And of the course the camel toe direction (best high jack of a thread ever).

I think I still have the rest of the pics that UPS chick around somewhere.


I say Pewter. Sounds gay-er saying, but not connected with dookie as much the brown.

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

This is my Mineral Grey 01 Gt, fell in love with it at first site. The paint really looks good in the sun. I have repainted the hood and bumper cover, as well as the side skirts and chin spoiler. I installed a shaker hood scoop on it, and am going to install the origional scoop off of it on my red Bronco. Mineral Grey really looks good with red.

If you want a really nice brown go for the Honda Element color called "root beer"
If you want a nice tan color go for volkswagen'd "harvest moon"
If you want a nice green color go for the Dodge Grand cherokee color called "Orvis Hunter green"
but I still like the Element color!! Its called Kiwi, I should know, I own one.

quit telling everyone to use my harvest moon color. It is a really nice color on a bronco though. At least to me. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Also check out Khaki Metallic from mid 2000 TJ's. I absolutely hated the color when I bought it, but it was the only leftover 03 and they made me too good of a deal to pass up. It's grown on me. It changes from a tan to a pewter gray to gold depending on the light. The real beauty of it is doesn't show dirt or scratches. It's another brown option.

Well, how about showing us some pictures of the bronco in "Harvest Moon" instead of 'hogging' the color. I am not listening to your gripe without a picture proof you painted it hehehe!!
