The orange looks good, but have you considered matching it with navy blue? shake

As a Texas Aggie, I would say skip the burnt orange, and go all maroon wink

Love those collegiate colors. My 3800 is going to be Maroon when I get to that point. easiest decision I will have to make on it. Plus, cape maroon was a stock color and nearly Aggie Maroon so it will pass as original or an Aggie's truck.

If I had been thinking clearly, I would have painted the grill orange to match nicely with the Mariner Blue body.

Wahoowa!

Rick,

Should have gone with Clemson orange!

Blacksburg is one of my favorites next to Death Valley.
