I have serious OCD, and have been going crazy trying to figure out what color to paint my truck. Originally I thought hot orange, but then Nevada blue.

It used to be this color:

As it sits in my driveway right now it looks like this..

I def. think the burnt orange color looked good-
Ideas? Not looking for show quality paint anyone know a good place in Vegas to get it done?

We actually mixed it DeAngelo's. Started with a base (I'll have to check, don't remember), then started adding pigment until we got something we liked. It may have been TransAm yellow (more orange than yellow) that we started with but I don't remember for sure. We've painted several things orange lately and one of them definitely started with TA Yellow.

I would stick to a solid color (non metallic) for the base as it is easier to repair when it gets damaged. Like white,black,red,orange etc. we do this on are race truck to simplify repairs. Even though i owner an Auto body collision repair shop.
