Post your orange trucks
 

I am getting ready to paint my 67 chevy truck. I am wanting to paint it some sort of orange. Unless someone has a color other than red that is too nice to not put on instead.

I went to the paint shop today and got overwelmed by all the options they had, about a 6' wide row of books. So if you can post up some pictures of the color and what vehicle it is and year, or paint color if you know it.

Here are a couple colors that I have seen, But dont know what they were off of originally.

I love the truck, What did you pay a gallon if you dont mind, how much did you use and how much did you paint? Inside engine compartment/bed/interior?

Re: Post your orange trucks and cars
 

Do you have the paint code or what that color was originally off of?

Re: Post your orange trucks and cars
 

Atomic Orange Metallic
WA418P / 83

Came on the 07/08 Corvette not to be confused with Sunset Orange which has more of a copper color. Both are very nice but very expensive. Expect to pay over $400 per gallon.

Re: Post your orange trucks and cars
 

We call this Two Times Orange, or 2XO

My restored 72 Blazer stock color "medium red".

Re: Post your orange trucks and cars
 

I am also on the hunt for the right orange. I'm repainting my 1980 K20 4x4 and am after more of a "burnt" orange color. My buddy had a mid 70's Chevy stepside that from memory was the perfect color. I was at the paint store today looking at the Dupont charts. The only year they had that far back was 1977 and the truck color was Tangier orange. Seemed a bit bright. I have been scrubbing the net to try to find that color!

Re: Post your orange trucks and cars
 

Here's my Blazer. I can't seem to find a picture of my old Orange 72 Challenger RT before I painted it.
