orange paint jobs
If this is the wrong place for this, delete it.
I am getting ready for some paneling and prepping for paint. I really want and orange body with black top. Does anyone have an orange truck? Could you post pics. I have been googling all day. all I find are professional pictures and I would like to see what I looks like in real life, haha.

Re: orange paint jobs
I looked up some pictures, could only find tractors. But that color looks and sounds perfect. I would really like to see your truck! HahaRoukoSadra wrote:I used persian orange (Allas-Chalmers) for my 66 (dont have pictures atm) and in overcast its bright red and in the sun its orange.

I am really digging the persian orange, I think that is the way i'll go. A lot of the orange I see has too much red.

Re: orange paint jobs
I got ahold of the guy who owned this before me and he SWEARS its fire red or the equivalent and it was just 40 years in texas sun that faded it. I think its vitamin C poly. You be the judge :)

Re: orange paint jobs
I just did this on Monday and Tuesday, used some rattle cans of plastic paint just so that I can see what it looks like.
So far I really like what it could be when it's all done.
Hemi Orange/Flat Black
