Finally painted it. I didn't do any body work really, just primered and painted. Pickup up a gallon of this paint in the mix match section at the local paint store. It will have to grow on me, ;D . But at least it's not pink :p

Light Satin Glow Metallic is the color, my first time painting a two stage, did 3 coats color and 3 coats clear.

Here is how this bronco started.

Gonna throw on some rock sliders next weekend, Put another couple coats of Durabak in the bed, Hook up all the lights etc and should be pretty much good to go.

Ha knew you would like it :p J/K

Wife and daughter love it. I thought it looked better on the top of the can but oh well, it was super cheap.

Once I have it back together with black flares, rockers, cage, etc it may be ok.

I like the color, very subtle. Not a flashy color like your trying to get attention.
