Light grabber/grabber blue with black trim pics

[fordguy]

Finishing up a kitchen remodel, time to get back on the bronco. My plan was to go with bay tree green, but not sure I want to change original color (grabber blue). But I am not a fan of white with the blue. The body has been dipped, stripped and dipped in e coat. Would like to see black trim with blue including top.

Thanks DC. that is nice, I was hung up on leaving the fender flares black. What flares are those and how did you paint them.

That’s not mine. That is my inspiration. I’m a LUBR actually. Just started painting mine two days ago.

Those look like the fiberglass flares.

I have black wheels and bumpers. I’m still on the fence on whether to go all black on emblems and roll cage. It looks good, but I don’t know if I want to lose the classic look of chrome. Once I’m painted I will start experimenting. I already painted my old emblems black to see how it looks. I’ll make up my mind when I finish all the blue. I’ll have an argent silver grille when I finish so I’m debating making the roll cage or bumpers argent as well. I just want to see it come together and experiment a little. I’m also thinking about the hockey stick strips in either argent or black. Lots to explore for me.

I’m just getting started. On paint but hope to be done this weekend

I won’t have any white on mine. I’d paint my flares body color for sure.

FYI that grille is argent silver.

There's a blue and black one on BAT right now.

Thanks Dog. DC the one on BAT has all black trim. Not digging those black panels on the hardtop.

 

[DC_Gearhead]

The black panels don’t do anything for me either.

Just for comparison, this blue one has a little more of the classic chrome on it.

I love the color. Want to paint my next one Grabber blue. Not sure yet what the other colors I want on it. I like the black flares and other things black with it really.

Hi,

This shade of blue is slightly off (not by much) grabber blue.

The build is about 95%... can add more pictures afterward.

Thanks,

Jeff

Man I love that bronco! Do you have a build thread on it?

 

[Jeff10]

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the compliments.

I'm sorry there's not a build thread. Honestly, it's been a real source of frustration between my wife and me.

Your words of encouragement may be just what I need to get motivated to do what I can to finish it.The real goal is to complete it and sell it.

Thanks again.

Jeff

Here's a buddy of mine's just coming home from the paint shop. His flares where white before with stock chrome bumpers. This look is a great improvement.

Agree, I like the black
