paint questions ??

Hey all I am thinking of a few things for a upcoming paint job on my truck. I have a 79 F 250 4x4 and was wanting to paint it a dark emerald green like the 2001 F 250's had and was just wondering if anyone else has one painted that color that I could see ? Also wondering has anyone else ever painted their grill and / or bumpers to match the paint job instead of having chrome grill / bumpers. Any pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Going monochrome or "Euro" is sooooooo last century (the 1980s). This what folks will do upon seeing a Euro paint scheme these days... ""

But hey, it's your truck so go for it...

Green Gem Metallic introduced midyear 2012 for F150's, still listed in 2014 brochure. This is a dark shade of green, but it's not very common. I've only seen one of these F150's in this color.

You can view this F150 color on Ford.com
