favorite color fullsized?

I'm getting my Bronco painted, someone spray painted it from beige to flat-crap black.. I'm probably gonna do a gloss black, but if I'm getting it painted I might as well look at other options. Not looking at a great paint job, gonna leave the dents and not cry when it gets scratched.

What's your favorite bronco colors?

1. white and red two-tone
2. blue and light blue two-tone
3. black

Or you could go with the faded red that looks like orange on my Bronco.

I should say yellow and white, but she's outside and won't see me. I've always liked metallic royal blue and metallic gray.

How about zebra? I'm still waiting for pictures of the Ba-Ba-Battleship Thunder! I have to say I like the two tone on the 78' and 79's. But on later models solid colors look cool.

You mean to forget the paint and just add siding?

I would like Gray, i guess it depends on wich color your roof is... White is also a great color (it resist dirt like no other)... Hmmm i'll come back here and post a pic of my Bronco later (took some nice ones yesterday).
