dads original paint! Burnt Orange?
« on: March 25, 2010, 12:40:48 pm »
So this was the old mans truck before he had it painted white.. i think it was painted in '91.  He wants to go back to original colors..  so I think this was called "Burnt Orange"  but I'm not positive..  does anyone know for sure?   It's gonna be awesome.. because we will have complimenting paint styles, mine blue/white his orange/white..  except mine does not have the cab roof white...   anyone know what year they changed that?

Love the Slot mags!

The orange; "Burnt Orange Metallic" and the white; "Frost White".

Looks like the winner is Maple Orange.
