Orange Ford

I am thinking about painting my 94 F150 orange. The problem I have is I haven't seen one like it that is orange so I'm worried it may not look good. As of yet it is still the factory black. Any suggestions or pics?

You state vehicles aren't Omaha orange? Ford painted retail trucks a similar color during the "dentside" era... burnt Sienna I think it was called.

It is fine if you like orange. I helped paint my 78 truck orange and now hate the color on the truck.

I know there are orange Fords out there I just haven't seen one with that body style. My uncle has a 75 Highboy that is orange and it looks great. There is a 97 F-150 work truck around here in orange and it looks horrible. I figure that since my 94 shares alot of body lines with the 75 it'll look good.

I've seen a few cars, Fords and otherwise, that were orange... but around here, the only trucks that are orange are the DOT trucks, or ones that used to be DOT trucks. I've actually seen more trucks that were painted "Realtree Camo" than orange, really.

Neither of those choices would be my first, but hey, it's your truck. Post a pic when and if ya do give it the "Minute Maid" treatment.

Can't snap a pic of it and use photoshop or a similar program to check out the color and see what it looks like?

I thought of editing a pic to see what it would look like but I don't have any programs to do it. It's too late for that now tho cuz I have the cab sanded and I sprayed inside the doors. I'll post a pic within a couple weeks.

wow! that truck is really orange.

i love it but i think the blacked out lights do not go with that color and will attract cops, if the color hasn't already.

looks great!
