My 76 does not have the best paint job. I one day plan to repaint it but no where in the near future. Currently, my entire bronco is painted one color. I definitely plan to paint the hard top and possibly the flares ford white. What is your opinion, should I paint the inner grill white?

Wimbledon White will look good. Gray or argent will not have enough contrast for the current color. Black might look good too.

Defiantly paint the grill. I'm not a fan of the solid colored painted grills. I think they make a Bronco look cheap. Like someone was trying to give it a quick paint job and not take the time to do it correctly.

If you paint the top and flares white, I say paint the grille white. If not, I say leave it.

I think it depends on the rig. I have a LOT of black on my '69 but decided it would
look best with a body colored grille. If it were black it would blend in too
much you wouldn't be able to see it. If it were any other color it wouldn't
match... I don't think it looks cheap? ;)

I agree completely but you have to watch this guy, he likes to compare broncos to jeeps. ;D

Agree with house. Whichever you do be sure to put the grille chrome on it though. Inhave never liked the unfinished look of the painted grills without the chrome

I disagree! :p

The chrome trim looks good on an argent grille but, IMHO, does not look good on a white grille. ;D

I would paint the grill black. Add the grill chrome trim. Leave the full body one color and add a white or black Special Decor Stripe.;) After all it is a 76.:cool::cool:;D
