Painting the grill with a two tone paint scheme

I could use a little input/feedback and any photos people want to share.

I've started the paint work on my 67 project and am trying to decide how to do the front end/grill.

I decided to go with a orange and white two tone paint scheme and then have all of the accents (custom bumpers, family cage, wheel flares, rocker guards/steps, etc.) a powdercoat textured satin black.

So I've done the upper body (above the body line) in Vista Orange and the bottom (below the body line) in Performance White. I'm stuck trying to decide whether to continue the body line around the front and thus have the top of the front end/grill area orange and then white below that. Or????

Basically looking for what others have done with the front end on two tone at the body line paint jobs.

Thanks in advance.

These are some of my favorites that I have saved pictures of over the years. The dark blue and white one is by far my favorite.

I can definitely understand your frustration/confusion because I think that the Bronco front end is a little tricky to work with on the two tone paint schemes! Love how they usually end up looking but the execution is key.

I personally like the white painted grills! To me very classic look! ;D

If I had a clue how to use photo shop I would show you how I was gonna possibly do mine in the future based on a truck I remember in a magazine!

Have faith, I'm sure that there are alot of two tones on here that will have pics to submit. Good Luck! ;D

Thanks for the pictures and the feedback. The light blue and white one is the way I was thinking of going.

I hear you on the Photoshop thing. It would make life much easier if I was good enough to mock it up and try different looks.

Once again, I appreciate the help.
