Re: Project: Agent Orange

How can you NOT like orange? I'm just a little biased.HaHa!
Does that stuff stay soft and rubbery or does it set up hard?
Man, I want to drop everything and get busy on my blazer now!

Naw joking, I love orange and have always wanted an orange K5 but still, it's still surprisingly bright.

Got proof I've been there, done orange before.

Re: Project: Agent Orange

I don't know...... if you were to dull down the clear, I think I'd only spray the interior like that, just to keep from burning out your retina and avoiding migraines. I don't think I'd do that to the firewall or anything else, though. If you're okay with the migraines, or have an abundance of Excedrin, make it as bright as possible. Looks awesome either way.

lol, just the interior below the dash.

Keep the dash glossy but do the floors/kick panels, rear quarter sides & inner tail gate in matt finish.

It would look a lot like the pic I already posted of the base coat dry.
(that's where I got the idea, I liked the look of it)

Re: Project: Agent Orange

I see exactly what you're talking about and I think it'd look real good. Kinda like a flat black hood on a Cuda or a Challenger, except it's a floor...... on a truck..... and it's orange....... okay, maybe its not the same. Put me down for liking the idea.

I'm doing a 69 road runner for a guy right now. It's a black on black A12 4spd car.
These blazers look soooo good orange. I wish mine was as far as yours is.

Re: Project: Agent Orange

I think it looks great. Keep in mind you'll more than likely have a black dash pad, seats, door panels, maybe side panels, etc. It'll break it up nicely.

Re: Project: Agent Orange

I LOVE orange blazers ;-)

I was worried about mine when I first saw how orange it was but as I get more and more black mixed in with it I really think it tones it down.

I'm not sure about the orange floor.....put some individual black rubber mats in there to break it up and keep the mud from getting to slippery....???

I wanna see more!

Pretty much the way I looking at it too.

Your 100% correct, there's still a lot going to be installed into the tub to break up all the orange but seeing the base coat dried to a satin finish, it's a tough call.

Yep, floor matts or carpet pieces w/magnets where feet will land, are in the plans.

Re: Project: Agent Orange

Hey VT, looks good, When I did mine i put black line x in mine because I thought if it was the same as the body color it would be too much. One thing to note on mine the dash and rollbar is orange and it does cause a reflection in the windshield when the sun beats down on it. I am used to it now.

I attached a pic of how mine looks, I used a grey dash pad but the rest of the dash is orange.

What color orange are you using?
