I'm getting ready to calm down the color from yellow and I'm kinda liking some shade of Silver Metallic....I'm getting alot of flack from my kids, but I think I'm officially ready for yellow to be gone! No offense to the Yellow Broncos out there!!
My first choice is black but it will show the old waves too much so any of you who can post picks of silver, charcoal or some variation of both I would be thankful!!

Here is some pics of how it looks now....

Allow me to respectfully disagree and say....YOURE NUTS!!!

That is one of the best looking Bronco's that I have every seen. With all respect to the grey Bronco owners, yelow is a great color for what is meant to be a fun vehicle. Personally I would not change a thing.

By the way, two questions:

What brand gas doors are those?

What brand of roll cage, I assume a custom variant of the WH?

Thanks Man! The paint is weak up close, if it was good I really would keep it but It's thin and doesn't do the truck justice. I've bounced back and forth so many times and alot of people say what you said about it being drab...I'm really confused but that is why I want to see some pics.

You're correct...WH Family Cage, I cut the rear hoop off and had a shop fab & weld the new rears so I could mount Shoulder Harness to them.

Thanks again!

I went from Silver to Gray. It doesn't look that different but it really is a new animal!

Thanks for the info. I do not mean to hijack your thread, but do you mind telling me what year and make/model and what the diameter of those fuel doors are? The PO installed some that are similar but they are broken and I need to replace them. Problem is he did such a great job custom cutting them into the quarter panel, that I need to get the exact same size and he is unable to remember what he bought. I would greatly appreciate it.

P.S KEEP IT YELLOW! :cool:

Kane - I agree with everyone else, your truck is very nice - great stance too. I personally think that a dark color like a gunmetal will take away from the beauty of that rig. I almost painted my first one a gunmetal gray but ultimately decided on a copper color. Take a look at Blazin Copper's latest builds, there are some really nice colors there - your rig deserves to stand out and be noticed!!

I feel your pain! I want to mute my color too. I plan on going from the current bright 04 Mustang Competition Orange to a lighter green - probably Legend Lime. The change is not so much that I don't like orange any more - just looking for a change. It's been orange for 5 years and who knows what I'll like in another 5 years!

I like silver too - I say go for it! ;D

But then mine is pretty beat up from the trails and is in dire need of paint . . .

Grey is a cool color too, even though the rig looks GREAT like it is. Good luck in the color hunt
