I plan to paint the truck Omaha orange. | | | | | | Houston54 Unregistered | | Houston54 Unregistered | You can probably get the same color from a local paint supplier for less.

Anyone got a pic of it? It may be what I'm looking for to do my panel. I originally was thinking the new Mitsubishi coppery looking color...NOW I'm thinking WHITE but OMAHA ORANGE sounds "inticing" and "warm"  | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,072 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,072 | OMGoodness!! That's a very cool color. Here is Rick Young's 1941 Chevy 1/2-Ton AK. I know there are several others on the site. I tried doing a search from the menu bar. It use to come up with a good list. I can see I need to update that Google code. {sigh} (Hi Alvin!  ) Peg

I bet 64-66 offered it as well.

Two different colors, brewster green and apple green. It is so bright it compensates for the 6v headlights being dim. It is old stlye paint, no clear coat.
