Ford Mandarine Copper Metallic paint - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

thisolechevy · 12-16-2004, 12:12 AM

Hey guys my '69 K-10 is at the body shop right now getting the rest of the bodywork done as I type this, I am SOOOO excited!!! Anyways I just purchased 2-quarts of the 2000 Ford Mandarine copper Metallic paint and hopefully by Saturday afternoon the truck will be done and ready to cruise. I was just wondering if any of you have ever seen this color and what you think of it? and if you have any pics with a copper color? please let me know.

Ohh yeah I do believe that CopperHead on Trucks is that same color, do any of you know?

My longhorn is copper but it's the factory color

The F#@D copper color is not as bright as the Copperhead truck. It's closer to the color on Solvers truck but not the same.

That color looks sweet on that truck!. The color I have seen on newer F%#D trucks didn't look no where near that bright. Your truck should look great with that.
