First 2023 Azure Gray Bronco delivered

AG is a tri-coat like the many seen whites e.g. White Sand, Platinum White, Star White along the way on various Ford models. The tri-coat has more labor/time involved at the factory which purportedly factors in to the extra $$$$ to get it. Most of the tri-coat colors I have had and seen do not photograph well to "show off" their deep metallic glow--I suspect AG looks a helluva lot better in person than via a photo and lighting sets them off even more in person.

One thing to consider with any tri-coat or tinted clearcoat color is they are much more expensive to repair and very hard to touch-up and blend.

Right, Wild. One of my daughter's Subaru has a tri-coat paint job. During a storm, the basketball pole fell on the roof of her car. She was devastated. She hadn't even had her license yet and she didn't think it could be fixed. I told her that it was nothing and it will look better than when we bought it. Our autobody guy is great and tries to get whatever he can get fixed covered, as well as waive the deductible. The one thing he told me was that the paint is a three coat process for her car, so it will be a bit more expensive, but he could get it covered. So, what do I do? Order Hot Pepper Red tinted clearcoat and pay extra for it, because I need a red car! But, I get a pass on this because I am a guy, right? Come on ladies, back me up on this. Because you probably think of this all the time when we don't think things through and say, "What were you thinking"? That's the point we weren't thinking, because we are basically still thinking like teenage boys! 😂

Still don't understand why three model years in and they have only given us one true fun color. Cyber Orange. Yeah Code Orange is cool. But it comes at a price. I hate to sound like a broken record. But the Bronco is screaming for some of the cool colors that Jeep offers. Even that Ford offers on the Mustang. But they keep giving us boring luxury SUV and sedan colors. I know there will always be a market for"safe" colors. But there's plenty of room, and the demand, for in your face bold colors.

Cyber Orange came at an upcharge too. As an owner of one I'm not dissapointed having the only fun color but like you I've been surprised that they have made zero attempt at others. Seems like BOSS 302/grabber colors would be amazing. Gotta have it Green, Grabber Blue ect. I do wish that the COM was closer to Orange Fury or Grabber Orange like all the promo renderings showed.

I wouldn't advertise the waiving of the deductible. In some states, mine included, they are legally required to collect it and it is considered insurance fraud not to. I know it's absurd but it can get a shop fined and regulated.

The COM is much nicer and more orange then in photos. The flake creates the orange especially in the sun whereas photos look more yellow.

It looks good in overcast light. Like a storm blue. In the sun though, it’s very purpley. Not sure I could handle that on my own vehicle.

I love it. Just finally picked up mine. same color badlands
