Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 | I have never seen Omaha Orange, except on paint chips on line... Gab's truck body is with the body man and she wants orange. I think she'd like us to go with an original '54 color but I'd like to see at least one  We are trying to get her truck ready for her graduation and it will be a surprise. I have searched in the Gallery but Rick Young's '41 in the Gallery doesn't show the pix when I pull it up  I came up with this but it's a die-cast... Does anyone have any photo of a truck of any year painted Omaha Orange? Thank you for any and all replies, in advance. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 888 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 888 | Here's one off Brads site.

I believe the AD is a bit brighter/lighter. Anyone care to give their opinion? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Sabrina, this is MY color going on the panel this week. Do a google search on this Bizen Orange, Sunset and you will see the color. To me the color doesn't look the same on the web site as what I see in real life but it is the one I choose! It is different  Its the one in the middle. http://www.expresspaint.com/Product...mp;withStock=0&IDBrand=0&order=1 | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 829 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 829 | I used the words sunset pearl for an image search and found this willys That panel is going to look sharp, Alvin!  | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 | Gracias Sabrina. I like the orange.
When I paint my 53 it may be that orange.
You and your daughter have good taste in color.

One day we'll need to get your panel together with Gabber's truck  David- That Willys looks good enough to eat with the two orange colors  Dennis- Which orange are you leaning towards? Gracias a usted  | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 2,644 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 2,644 | THESE GUYS have a color called Omaha Orange. I have their chips and it's indistinguishable from the Omaha Orange chip on my 1952 DuPont paint chip page. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 | Thank-you, Czechman  | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | As I mentioned above the color chip does not do my color orange justice. TONIGHT I looked at my rear fenders, hood and inside of the two rear doors painted Bizen Orange,Sunset and I was absolutely pleased. It looks just like what I expected.
My other choice would have been the Prowler Flame Orange. It and the one I choose are very close but the Bizen is a tat lighter. I will post pics on a post in the paint and body tomorrow and you can see the hood ect....man, I'm getting pumped now. The main body will be painted the first of next week. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 | Alvin- I can't wait to see  I'm absolutely stoked for you and dying to see the color on the pieces you have done  | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 | I like the Tennessee orange.
I have seen many Chevy Tahoes in Oklahoma with a nice burnt orange color. I think they like the color around OSU. It is a little darker orange.

This isn't the original color of the truck (it was Maroon) so I don't know if its exactly the right shade, but its definitely orange. I'm probably going to change it back to Cape Maroon or to Cream Medium. I'm not as into bright colors as I used to be.
