I sprayed my son's jeep after his little incident and got some metal flake on my truck........I like it and now need to save up enougn to get a good deep gold dust on black paint job. I've seen the paint at the Sherwinn Williams that I go to but I don't have the place, skill or patience to do something as big as my truck.

Mine is going into the paint shop next week. Looks like green to white, to match the rest of the vehicles in the stable.

Guess I'm just boring.

Nothing wrong with white, just I'm into wild. I've had a white truck, silver, maroon, blurple, green & now I want wild.

Thanks man, when I posted that & got no replies back.....kinda made me think I'm going crazy. My mind is definately made up about burnt orange, but now my brother is telling me about a Lamborghini orange color. Anyone know where to find links online to look at crazy colors other than house of kolors? I talked to the body shop & he won't budge on price to paint my jambs etc. I have deided to come out of "paint & body retirement" & do it myself. Winter project! I've painted many cars, actually have a degree in paint/body. As soon as I get this drivers door, I'm gonna start body work. I already have lh fender, rear door. I'm gonna paint under the hood as well while its apart. Burnt orange valve cover maybe.

There used to be a second gen around here with that burnt orange color. That thing looked awesome, I don't think you'll be dissapointed with your choice.

That would look good, but I am definately getting the bottom of the truck done in line-x black. I'm sick of messing with rust, getting the inside of the doors done as well.
