It’s about time to paint the bronco. Body work is complete, and I’m ready to throw a white sealer on.

The bronco was originally tangerine, so I would like to keep it a least in the orange family. I’m thinking about a creamy orange, not too yellow and not to bright of an orange and I’m not interested in metallics or tri-coats. Spoke with my paint shop and they can mix anything as long as they have a paint code.

Any help or suggestions on colors would be appreciated, especially if you have a paint code.

I always considered my Bronco to be orange but a recent Marti report shows it as Cayan Red. When I had the paint matched a few years ago it came back as Grabber Orange. Go figure. If and when it gets painted, I'll probably go back to the stock Cayan Red. The pic shows 50 years of weathering.

Go look here https://www.autocolorlibrary.com/ all the original colors look great to me, just seems right to pick a bronco color. I am not a fan of other colors other than original. But your Bronco, so it is up to you to find your color. Only took me ten years.
