Going single stage and I only like original bronco colors. My truck has been chemically stripped and dipped in e-coat, so the canvas is blank and ready for color. I like boxwood, but you see a lot of boxwood And is not close limestone. Bay tree green is close in my opinion, but color matching is not my strong suit.

Mine is sprayed with Nason single stage urethane, it has been extremely durable and buffed out nicely. I’m no help on color…. Reminds me, I need a gallon to paint my new doors.

Definitely interested in what you find. I am in a similar situation with trying to find a solid green. I was looking for a color similar to GMC Medium Olive Poly, but without the metallic. Thanks for mentioning Bay Tree Green, didn't consider that one. If I see anything close to Limestone when looking at samples, I will post it up.

A suggestion I have is for you to find a late model shade where you can get touch up paint from the dealer or Dupli-Color. I painted mine with a Summit house brand single stage; we painted my brother-in-law's Chevy Victory Red. He has both a touch up paint pen and Dupli-Color spray paint can that matches perfectly, whereas I have to pull out my paint, mix it up, and spray areas that need touch up.

great idea but I can’t do it, I have an obsession….. with bronco colors.
