What’s the best color to order if one intends to paint it Brittany blue later
I would say, "White". It doesn't really matter, the body shop is going to sand away everything down to primer. But, if you have white and you want a white top, you can leave the Sport Bars and interiors of the doors to be white.

I tried again using the color sample from the interwebs. The render is better, but the color just doesn't line up. Sorry!

I appreciate the effort. It is good enough for me. The Brittany Blue is very close to Silver Blue. There is a metallic shimmer to the blue. Here is a close up -

Yeah, I gotta say, I LOVE this color. My dad had this on his old F-100 Step Side. It was gorgeous in the mid-day sun.

The two tone looks good. The third blue top with the black hood looks like you have just replaced parts and haven't matched everything yet
Below is what it's a tribute to!

Sorry for the bad photo editing skills. Just taught myself how to do this today. Still a bit off from what I'm thinking. But this is close.

Any idea what it would cost to do a wrap on the lower half of a bronco? Just ballpark. The salt protection would be pretty sweet too.

They all look good, id imagine you are starting with white as It would be difficult to do all the jamb work/ sportbbar.
Yeah, starting with white makes all those extra spaces easier to deal with. Also I thought I read that the body panels were easily removed too, making it that much simpler.

You won’t have to worry about the salt on the lower body panels because they are all aluminum. Only the floorboards are made out of steel.

Dude! This was how I was going to justify this cost to my wife! Let's keep this aluminum body panel business between us :)

30 seconds of internet research finds that it can cost anywhere from $3k - $5k for a professional vinyl wrap. The larger the vehicle the more cost, I guess. This article also briefly discusses DIY, which seems wicked cheap comparatively. A couple hundred dollars for a couple hundred square feet of 3m vinyl. Of course that's not including any trial and error (and error, and error) costs you may incur.

I've been looking around my area, DFW, and I've gotten estimates between $1500 and $1900 for a half wrap on a full sized vehicle.

Seems kinda steep to me, considering I'm sitting on a quote from a paint shop for $6,350 with ceramic included.

I think these are awesome. Would you make the hoods white or body color?
