I just thunked about it, if this is a single stage enamel, you might want to avoid any metallic. You can't sand and polish metallic single stage and get a nice finish.
I too was thinking about trying to add some yellow and white! I have been learning to mix for a while, but its all done buy weights, Don't know how much to ad to change the color,
Also this is ready to spray so no reducing, Will the gal be enough to paint the bronco?

Which paint is it? It should be enough to cover the outside of the Bronco if you spray with an HVLP gun over primer/sealer tinted with a little bit of the paint.

I've got one of those laying around. Hopefully one day it'll find it's way under the rear of my Jeep.

Thanks guys!
The passenger side 1/4 turn locking hub kept locking on its own? Changed it out with a full turn hub so will see what happens?

I had that happen on my black Chevy. There's a little plastic "bump" on the **** that locks it in place. Over time it gets worn away and doesn't stay locked. It should be fine with a new hub.

Sure Ches, just bring what you have and the kit and we'll get it going again. Consider it a Christmas present.

Ok so I now have a 14 bolt with 4.10s that matches my dana 44, and a set of Dana 44 Chevy outers! Going to use 78 Chevy front calipers and rotors all around my Bronco!

Next I need 4 Chevy calipers to use as cores!
