Blue Broncos with black hoods

[BRONCITIS74]

My Bronco is blue, but the hood has a couple of bubbles in it as well as some swirls from sanding. This is my fault, but I thought the hood was good enough to paint. Well, I want to do some body work on the hood, then paint it satin black. My wife doesn't think this is a very good idea. So, I'm asking you guys if you have a blue Bronco with a black hood, would you please post a picture of it. Hopefully when she sees them, she will change her mind. Thanks

It might change depending upon which blue. Can you post a picture of yours so we know what you’re dealing with?

if the bubbles are on raised part of hood. Just paint that portion. I agree with her on the whole thing….

Obviously, there’s a blue bronco in your avatar, but it would be nice to see a full picture.

When I see a satin black hood on a early Bronco, I think Stroppe. That is not necessarily bad, if it is tastefully done. I've thought of painting my Bronco blue and silver with the satin black hood in the paint scheme of a Stroppe.

The color is Ford Lightning blue.

Thanks for the pic. But that’s what I’m talking about, where I don’t personally think the flat black would look as good with that blue as with others.
If you turn the black into a dark gray perhaps, but not sure.
It’s actually hard to go wrong with flat black, I’m just not sure I would like it with that shade of blue.

Good luck with this decision!

I know it is not blue, I do like painted but original owner did this to cut down on sun glare (dunes racing).

I 2nd this. Two tone it and leave some black and some blue all black looks like something happen to the hood and that was an easy fix or have not gotten to it yet! Ford fan has a nice one maybe he will post a pic of his hood on blur.

Here is mine. Not blue. But gives you an idea of what I was talking about.

The raised center and scoop to match your flares might look alright. Mine is a similar shade of blue, and the center is black. I started with a flat black vinyl decal from kwarlers edge I think for the first hood. The second one was custom cut vinyl. More glossy, but blends better. Pm me your email or phone number and I’ll send a couple pics of both.

Hyghlndr who's front bumper is on your rig? Bailie bilt?

I think paint the center raised section black to match the flares. Should look great IMO!

Yes Bailiebilt, great bumpers.

Just an idea. You could wrap the hood in satin or gloss black for not a whole lot of $. Try it out, if she likes it then paint it when the wrap fails. It'd look killer with a carbon fiber wrap.

Yes Bailiebilt, great bumpers.

Cool, they are on my radar. I have the same proflow style hood and am digging the combo.
