Was the Light Prairie Metallic the factory 2-tone option, or just a random color you guys chose?
Frank & his wife saw the Ex and agreed on its colors (a shock, considering how much DISagreeing surrounded this build :eek:), so we had the painter look up the codes & order them as if he was repainting the Ex. So they're factory colors that the factory used together. The painter said his wife liked the Bronco so much, she hand-painted the grille & t/g letters.

Alright, saw all those greens, now let me show you the right one, IMO. This isn't mine but belongs to someone else, so hope they don't mind me posting a picture of it here.

I have had a paint scheme in my mind for about 4 yrs now. But the more I see the Boxwood green, the more I like it. Then again, I am a looooooong way from paint.

Boxwood is a cool color.... a buddy of mine is getting ready to paint one of his boxwood green. I am anxious to see it done.

Yes (on boxwood green), may favorite EB colors are the light non-metallic colors like this boxwood green and the light blues (couple of those). I think the lighter colors show off the body lines better than the darker ones which can hide them, especially in low light.

A color scheme I've been thinking about is the boxwood green body (inside and out), white grill (oem style) and hard top except: 1). Hood and hardtop (above the rain gutter) a light glossy gray of similar shade as the boxwood so that neither color is any darker than the other. 2). White dash and same gray full cage.

I like the mallard green Louie. I too have to have green, my F250 is Forest Green Metallic, my son wants his B2 paint the same green as my truck but I want a little different green on the EB. (It's gotta be green though...LOL)
