I have a Shadow Black Heritage Edition on order. I think it looks great with the white top and wheels. Don’t know why the color wouldn’t hold up. Mine will be garaged. Black is unique with Broncos-few choose it and it does stand out. Mainly, I like the black Bronco look so that’s what I went with.
Love the all black look! Enjoy your Bronco.Own a Shadow Black OBX. The nice part is the OBX black grille matches the Bronco.
Would I do it again, probably not. I don't wash my vehicle often enough and black shows dirt like folks know. Does the paint hold up? Yes. It is a modern paint. If you are running off road with brush stripes, it will show more than other colors, but it isn't physically damaged any more than any other paint.
I bought this one because it was an abandoned order at the dealer. I had my Day 2 res and order in, but the dealer gave me a good price on the Bronco and a heck of a deal on my Tacoma TRD Pro.
Looking good! Thanks for sharing your Bronco with the forum.Carbon Gray all the Way!
VB must hold up well, because my Bronco is 14 months old, has never been washed or waxed, and looks no worse for wear.Love my Shadow Black. I think the Bronco
looks like a beast in black. As mentioned before it's a head turner when clean. It will show micro scratches more than other colors particularly in the sun. It depends on how you're going to use it. If you're off roading a lot then the Carbon Grey would probably hide scratches better. Grey was my second choice too. Also depends on how you maintain the paint and how much effort you put into keeping it clean. In my experience Black takes more effort to keep it looking good. I had multiple surgeries right after I bought mine and had to use car washes to keep it clean the first 9 months. I recently wanted to add graphics to mine but the car washes really did a number on the paint with swirl and brush marks. I didn't want to apply the graphics over the paint in the condition it was in so I had a three step paint correction professionally done then had it ceramic coated. Now it looks awesome again. A professional ceramic coat requires yearly inspections to maintain the warranty so if you're into the effort it's worth it. I'm sticking with hand washing or touch less car washes from now on.
I basically live vicariously by reading forum member trip reports and their Bronco modifications.
