.....I'm debating between shooting my roll cage body color or getting it powdercoated black.....

My opinion is to color match the cage, I like the way it looks. Then you can also paint your steering box, diff covers, etc. Can't wait to see it.

Paint update... I now have the paint and primer in my posession. The paint shop was able to find me some primer (backordered everywhere apparently) and I'm thinking I may shoot the tub tomorrow.
Stay tuned!1970 Bronco

Body is painted!
I made some decent progress this weekend... Got the primer-sealer and two coats of color on the beast today. For an amateur I'd say I got pretty decent results but I've got a couple of areas that need a little attention. It's really hard to get any decent photos inside my makeshift booth but here's a couple "teasers". The plan at this point is to wait for the paint to cure and be sandable, scuff-sand a couple problem areas and possibly shoot a 3rd coat.
I'm just happy that the mustard gold paint is finally a thing of the past! I can't wait to see this paint in the sunlight... it is bright!Attached Files1970 Bronco

Thanks for the compliments guys...
Yep... you end up with "normal looking" paint. Base-clear paints are relative newcomers to the automotive finishing scene. Up until the mid-80s most cars were single stage. The short answer is that the "clear" resin is mixed in with the colored pigment, and as single-stage paint cures, the resin rises while the pigment sinks.Originally posted by dirtboy4881970 Bronco
