I agree the dark colors can highlight the learning process, and two tone is a lot more work. I absolutely love the dark brown metallic, and when you compliment it with saddle tan its absolutely gorgeous. In fact, if I EVER get around to fixing up my 76 F 350, I have complete, pristine red and brown interiors. I am leaning towards using the brown just because I think its so rich looking. Good luck with whatever you choose.

Humm I have a 77 4x4 and it was a dark brown. This is a good argument to staying solid brown. I have the bedside trim and the trim along the bottom. I have been thinking about 2 tone paint. this and Shoreline beige.

Guilty. It was my intention to remove it, but with my shop as busy as it was, I only had a few days to strip the entire truck, do all the metal and mud work, and lay the paint. There's lots of "oops" in the paint, but nobody seems to mind. My trouble will begin when I replace the windshield. Getting the gasket back EXACTLY in the same spot so I don't have tan showing will be tons of fun.

Do you have a picture of this Bronco from the front with some of the chrome back on it? I'd love to see how the silver/goldish colours contrast.
It's something I'd like to paint my truck, but I'm always weary of the golden colours I choose clashing too much with the trim (racetrack) I want to put on.

if you leave the glass in , push a length of rope under the gasket. this will hold it up enough to let the paint flow under it avoiding unsightly "tan lines" later
