Paint scheme help

Does anyone have a line drawing of the side view of a '80-'86 style bronco? I'm trying to come up with a 2-tone paint scheme. Clink on the link to my cardomain website to see pics of the way it is now.

Feel free to offer ideas, or if your really bored and have photo-shop maybe doctor up some of the pics on my site.

thanks

Just pick out a color and paint it "Satin" without the Clear. It is the "New Look".

That Bronco looks similar to my 84 before my paint job. My personal preference is for the monotone look, that's why I went with the soild blue color. The shaker hood came later. If you plan to show it like you said, I would suggest a single color, perhaps with subtle graphics. I worked up some flames for the hood and fenders, but could not afford them. Just print out a few pages of your bronco on the printer and draw away!!!

Nice Bronco justshootme84. Have you won anything at shows yet? I think I will go with midnite blue with gunmetal grey on the bottom & hard top.

thanks.

I've only been to 1 show since the shaker mod. That was the Texas Heatwave in Austin, TX this past July. Over 2800 entries, so no trophy. I'm still working on my baby though. 10-pt S&W cage and PRP seats going in soon. The insert in my shaker hood is PPG Ford indigo blue metallic urethane. It's a new version of the factory midnight blue originally on my Bronco, like what your's has, too. I would break it up with something like the g.m.gray/silver along the bottom. That would look very sharp!!!
