So I figure you guys probably get this kinda thread a lot so you all should be experts. The colors I'm thinking of are is GM Sunset Orange Metallic, GM Light Pewter Metallic, or White. Here are some examples I hope nobody minds me using these images they are really good examples.

Sunset Orange Metallic

All of those colors look GREAT on those broncos - stance, lift, wheels and tires and whether or not you color match the flares have a lot to do with the attitude of the rig. You really can't go wrong with any of those colors.

Well can I pick your brain on what would would look good I'm thinking of black flares, chrome or black wheels, no lift and probably 33's its just a DD and maybe some very select trails. Actually your bronco has been a big inspiration for me I really like the roll pan idea I might have to copy that actually.

Love the orange also. Orange with all rest blackout best IMHO. The other would be a dark gray/silver. If I repaint mine someday it will either be a bright orange or yellow.

I like the silver but I have a thing for silver cars (i own 3 silver cars). The orange is nice too. Keep in mind that the orange will be much more money than the white. And the silver will be pricey too because of all the metallic. White is usually the cheapest paint color. Paint with red tone tend to be the most expensive.

Yeah thats what keeps me from choosing the red because I'm broke and already have the white

Nothing wrong with white. Especially if broke and you already have it. Plus factor is if shooting it yourself, it's the most forgiving as far as body work.

You didn't say what color your seats are...
If it's open, I like the orange w/ tan seats - that is still a unique setup.
White with black seats is pretty common..
Pewter and black looks good, but doesn't stand out as much as the Orange...

just my opinion...

I plan on going with a black rampage top as of now the seats are a dark blue but I will have them recolored to what ever looks best for the color. If I do white or silver then the interior will be black interior with red accents. If I do the orange well then how does black and tan sound. What about wheel color?

I like the white. Looks good. It hides flaws and dirt. It won't get as hot. It is only second to silver and being the safest color for the road.
