Post your orange trucks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

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.

Here is my truck when I first got it:

How it sits now:

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?

Kind of two tone orange/rust.

Twisted78SS · 11-19-2009, 12:59 AM

OK...... It's a square body.. But Orange/Red it is..

Zoomin · 11-19-2009, 01:15 AM

Hemi Orange

Dodge Challenger - it has pearlcoat too. In the sunlight it just blazes.

The 2009 Corvette Atomic Orange is nice too.

69lemans · 11-19-2009, 01:53 AM

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

AusTx68 · 11-20-2009, 08:16 PM

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.

MrBlue · 11-20-2009, 08:56 PM

We call this Two Times Orange, or 2XO
