color scheme

[tdub]

I got my bronco a little over a month and a half ago. I got a really good deal since it's mechanically flawless for something with over 200k. The body is straight, even has a new paint job (from one day paint, I want a better one). The vehicle belongs to a former abstractor, it spent a lot of time on the highway, going all over the state (from what I'm told), and parked on the field.

Needless to say the inside it shot with grease and grime EVERYWHERE! The original color is like the weird light blue/grey, I cant decide. It doesn't exactly match my dads grey interior in his 94 F-150 nor does it match the blue in my 92 explorer. I want to go with a completely different color on the inside, and was wondering about the dash and door panel, and interior plastic trim pieces. So several questions

1. How did you guys decide the color scheme?

2. Is the VIN easy to keep with a new dash

3. What's the best way to get new plastic trim color (donor car/new pieces or ghetto paint?)

4. Do you rip the insides out and piece it together as you keep driving it?

5. Can some one post a picture of the back seat mounts?

Interior color should go with the exterior color. Doesn't have to be the same, like white outside w/ blue inside. You can use the dye and vinyl paint to change the color of your current panels, and just get a new pad for the top of the dash. I decided to strip all of the interior trim and the headliner out, and put Herculiner on the floor and bedsides. Makes it much easier to clean after a wheeling trip. JSM84

1) How do we decide on a color scheme ? That's kinda like asking how you chose your wife, when you see the right one you'll know it & until then you try out others.

2) The VIN is attached to the dash *mount* and stays right where it is when you swap dash's

3) the *best* way is to steal it from an unsuspecting donor truck, failing that like JSM said you can use vinyl dye/paint but you REALLY need to follow the directions when using it otherwise it winds up working like that spray paint they sell for guys like me to hide their bald spot.

4) You do what you want, rip it out & drive while you piece it back together or wait until you have all the pieces and do it real quick so nobody notices. Just depends on how **** you are.

5) Sure, but I gotta wait till the sun comes up. Gimme a few hours.
