New paint

[earlybronco72]

Well, the wife is gone for three weeks, and I got bored. Here are the new colors for my bronco. Actually they are old colors that I missed.

I need to paint my rig. What type of paint did you use? The last time i painted a car was when laquer was legal.

Looks sharp Mark! I assume that you painted it yourself? Rattle can or gun?

[Familyman]

Alright Mark so how did ya do it. Looks great from here

[earlybronco72]

It was from a can. Rustolium, 3.55 a can. Took five cans to do the whole thing. I'm sure that in a couple of months the shine will go away, but I kind of like the dull look. I also highly recommend the little attachment for the top of the can that gives you a pistal grip. No more finger pump.

Hey Mark is that your gas cap on the rear corner panel. If so whats it from and can you throw up a close-up pic of it. Thanks FM

[earlybronco72]

Nope not a gas cap. It is an IBEW sticker. That actually would be a good place to put the filler though. It would be pretty protected. I would think that it wouldn't be that hard to mount one there, as long as you didn't plan on putting a hardtop on again. I may have some old filler tubes laying around, and I could see how they fit, but it wouldn't work for mine though. I have a fuel cell right behind my seats.

[Familyman]

Thats right I forgot about your fuel cell. Thanks anyway. I could probably bend some tube to make that bend though.
Thanks FM

That looks good for a can!! Only took 5 cans?? damn thats good..

Actually it took five cans and a 12 pack for me and the neighbor to drink. I'm amazed how good it actually came out.

I found this one I hacked down, and I think it would work in there. Might be a pain to install, but if you put rubber fuel hose down to the tank, or even welded an extension on it, I bet it would work slick. You can have it if you want it.

Looks good Mark. You can hardly see the dents now I have been thinking about painting mine sine there isn't much paint on the hood anymore. I may use duraback or something like it from the body line down and paint the upper half and hood.

I would recommend it. It is easy to do, and sure makes you happier with the apperance. May not look professional up close, but I think it would make your bronco look really good. You can always get rid of what color you do put on it later for a pro job.
