Help me pick a paint scheme.

[hammer]

So rust removal and body panel replacement is wrapping up on my '69 Bronco. Picked up a car trailer so I'm just about ready to take it to the blasters. Been tossing around paint scheme's for a year now and have narrowed it down to two.

First one is an orange with creme/tan accents.

Second is a color called "legend lime metallic" that was available on 2006 Mustangs. Its the same color (much to my dismay as I've had my eye on it for a while) as malcolmzilla is doing his. Accents would be a hammered pewter color along the lines of the rims on the mustang.

This is the best photoshoped pic I have of this color on an EB.

Either which way I will go will a stock argent colored grill.

Let me know what you guys think....

I like the legend lime with pewter accents.

The orange is OK, but I really don't like the creme/tan accents.

I like a darker orange. Are your bumpers, flares going to be black?

Won't be a darker orange. No flares. I'm 5.5" suspension, 2" BL uncut on 35's.
Here's a pic from before I dove into the bodywork.

Bumpers are up in the air. As it plays out in my head right now if I go with the orange the bumpers will be orange as well, if I go green the bumpers will be hammered pewter.

Green and Pewter all the way!

Legend lime is what I plan to use, so I guess my vote is biased. I saw a nice Woody last week that was legend lime and it looked the part of a 'classic'. Definetely the way to go.

Guess I should of put a neither option. 100 views and 13 votes%)

Im a big fan of lime green but Orange is also one of my favorites. Go with what you believe you wont get tired of quickly.

From someone that has changed his mind about 5 times in the last year. I'm not a big fan of either. That windviel blue one that was posted last week really got my attention. I might change my mind again. I just got the hood ready for primer and I'm going to pick up a pint of single stage windviel blue and shoot a coat on it. It will sit against the garage wall where I can look at it for a while. waffle waffle waffle!

I think I would go with the green......only because there are so many out there that are orange. This way you would be your own.;D

 

[neonizagas]

Orange! of course.

 

[Orange Crush]

orange and white or black

tan ugly

I agree. I love orange with either white or black but the tan on orange does not look good to me.

 

[old number 8]

Go Orange, it will stand out so much more. I'm not a fan of tan, but I'm not paying for it either!

 

[scsm76]

Well all my broncos have been orange so I am a bit biased.
I have always gone with black accents, but I really do like orange with tan, creme would be to light IMO.
Although the green is a very nice color, where would you go with the interior on the green?
Also what color will the flares be when the 35's smash those nice uncut fenders;D

Only off road its gonna see is family camping trips and road trips to s.o.b. so I'm gonna go uncut as long as I can. If they get caught up then its flares and 38's;D

Interior on the green would be a mix of a charcol grey and black. Roll bar would be the hammered pewter.

I agree, this is what I would do. Plus, it's a pretty cool color. I always liked the classic Ford green color and the one you want to use looks sort of like it. Plus, hammered pewter is sick!
But this is your build, it all comes down to what color do you hate the least. ;D

I am going with the baja calypso coral color myself. Orange rules.
