I'm in the process of spraying mine on poly primer too. Same color as yours. Eventually mine will be satin white with gold flake roof

I want to say its called Dorado Red, but don't quote me. I will find out exactly what it is and where it was bought and let you know. I'm not totally convinced its satin at this point, but we will see.

Re: 65 Long Bed Chevy Build
Welcome to the forum

I agree, that red does look good.

Is your truck currently running?

Re: 65 Long Bed Chevy Build
After lagging for the last few months I've finished up some wiring, weather seals, Alarm, Radio etc. Yesterday we finished installing the CPP lowering kit. The rear shocks were too short so I put the originals (whatever was on it) back on for the time being. Looks Great and rides pretty good too.
