I repainted my and not sure if I am happy, how about some feedback about it. The silver seems to bright for me but it will be covered by a body. I think the engine colors will work with it though.. let me know what you think.

Thanks Craig

Personally it looks nice. It may look better with a dark gray type of color in my opinion. Little too bright for me.

Yeah me too, wonder if I could scuff it and then clear to dull it. Try to get a one step ahead and I am two back..

I like it...but if you have any doubts set your engine on the mounts and then mock up the front end sheet metal in such a way that you can get an idea on how it will look once complete.

Its your truck paint how you want, I painted my frame with spray bombs because I knew I would change somthing before I was done, and for future touch up.

Personally I would change the blue intake and v/c's to silver and just stay with an all red and silver theme. Dont really care for the blue with that combo but that is just me.

If only you knew how long it took me to get the silver to show on the valve covers, but all is subject to change.

I would continue the silver on the flares, bumber, roll bar, dash, interior, etc. I think it will look very cool. Of all the choices with your Bronco (Traditional or New? Cut or Uncut? Chrome wheels or Black? Muds or All Terrains? Soft Top or Hard) - color is definitely the hardest. I have gone from Red to Lambo Blue to Sage and now looking at Lime Green.

Best of Luck - it will look great. Red and Silver goes together like Cookies and Milk.

I like it. Once you start hanging all the stuff on there it will tone it down quite a bit and provide good contrast and will have people looking. That being said if it's really bugging you now is the time to change it...

I'd probably leave it unless you plan on a whole different color wouldnt scuff it either. a couple of mud holes and years of use will take that shine away.
