I know that I wont want to ever sell her, but these days everything is negotiable. I am in the process of repainting my other rig and am thinking that I may want to change the color. It is currently a very light silver blue Nissan color that was on it when I bought it and am not in love with the color though it is not too bad. But I want to choose a color that I both really like and also is a good color if I ever need to sell it. Broncos look great in any color but my favorites are listed below. I have narrowed it to several choices:

1. Viper Red
2. Bright Blue
3. Dark Green Metallic
4. Bright Yellow Pearl
5. Charcoal Gray or Silver
6. Leave it the same color and maybe add some accents in black or silver

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Dark Green Metallic FTW!

Charcoal Gray (sounds better as "Gunmetal Gray") a close 2nd place!

Only my personal preference... I gotta think something like red, blue or green (not too bright) has to be best for resale.

Check out 904Bronco for a sweet dark green metallic, it is gorgeous.

The bright colors will only appeal to a select few, like yellow and red. The green and black/grey will appeal to all that want a EB. I love the gunmetal also.

I think it depends on the type of rig you build. I've seen some really nice extreme crawlers in lime green and bright orange that looked awesome but at the same time, those colors would probably look terrible on a stock resto.

A friend once told me there are only 2 colors Red and wrong.
I also like green what about Sargent Rock Met. (PPG)the color of Stacy David's Power Wagon from Gearz it is Siver Met. with a hint of green mixed in.
