Pretty rude of you to say something like new paint and then not post any pics!

The nerve!

Oh yeah it's orange, looks good. Did you paint it yourself. I'm going to paint my truck, it will be my first time painting. I have been reading about the paint world. Theirs nothing like experience

i like that color, makes it look very clean. Where did you get thos
vent covers for your dash? I've thought about leaving a pad or cover
off if I could find some trick vent covers, like u have.

19ford67,
the vent covers are removed from a dash pad. if you have a junk dash pad, you can rip them right out, clean them up and paint them like i did in both my trucks

ive got an idea, go to the junkyard and find a junky dash pad and rip it apart for the vents

thats what i would do

Awesome color worldsmysterie!

It reminds me of PPG's Tangelo Orange. I was going to paint my '56 orange but the wife told me she wouldn't ride in it if I did.

She hates orange. I guess I know how to make sure I drive solo!

Maybe my '69 could finally be orange when I totally rebuild it. I decided on red for my '56 and will probably be sticking with red as you can tell by my new artwork I had done on the back of my calf! It stung a little! I probably need to take another pic of it as it's been all healed up for a while now.

That looks really good, and I didn't think I liked orange.

Nice ink F100builder

sadly no i didnt paint it myself..i didnt trust myself with something that only the engine and parts i can trust myself enough to do. plus i wanted it to look good.

That looks exactly like calypso coral orange and not poppy red at all, but maybe it's just the pics. Looks real sharp none the less, just never seen poppy red that looks orange like that.

its too hard to say what color it looks exactly like or IS, for example,
look a the third picture. look at how much of a difference in color it is from the corner of the door panel, from the top right of the picture. it all depends on how much shading/lighting there is. the top right is so orange because the flash went off and brightened it.
