Thanks I'll keep you all updated. Due to all the snow we have ALOT of wrecks coming in and I can only work on it after hours. I'll post pics as I go along and what it looks like in the end.

Ok guys here is my next issue. I know UT orange is FF8200, but you cant really change that hex code into a paint code. We have all kinds of mixing colors and 1,000s+ of books with color codes in them. I was going to post a few colors I had run down to see what you think. I'll know more when I go to work tomorrow, but I was trying to get in the ball park tonight.

I know the blood orange is way to dark, but it was already in the pic.

1st one is blood orange, right?

If these are your choices, I say second from left.

3rd one looks like Texas orange. 4th more like Clemson or Florida orange.

No gray. Im working on building a hutch for it and I may look at gray for it but not on the main box.

I will be checker boarding the drawers in a few days when I have more time. I called around to lowes
and H.D. about paint and they could only give me house paint codes so I just went into the
mixing room at work and tinted and lighten colors
until I got close to what I wanted. Its not prefect, but I think the UF, UGA, and bama fan will get it. :p

Edit: Its a bit brighter in person. The booth walls make it look darker.

Save that code, I think you nailed it.

What's the price to paint a car?

It depends really. Color change is pricey due to having to remove all body panels
and spray jams the new color. Also the price depends on the color you pick.
Reds, Oranges, Golds, Pearls are higher. I changed my truck color a few years
back from red to hemi orange and it run me close to 1,500$. Its one of those things
you get what you pay for. You can get cheap paint and a back yard painter and get it
done for 900$ but It will peel in a few years. The good clears and bases cost a bit more.

For a Ex. If you paint a Chevy Cobalt it would be cheaper than a king cab Dodge. :p

That was more than you prob wanted to know, but I like talking about it lol

What was you looking to paint?

My nephew has 2 Novas, I think a 72 and a 67, the 72 used to be his daily ride till he found a Lincoln on a deal, his plan is to make the 67 show worthy. It's a long, long way off but, your Championship Orange is awesome.

Jump higher Vols.

Go Vols!

Checkerboard is coming soon.
I'm working on a top for it, but I can't decide
if I want to paint it a matching orange or gray.
White is a no go due to hands being on it all day.
I'm not a huge fan of the gray, but it might look good.

What do you all think?

1...It looks GREAT so far!

2...I'm not a fan of the Gray so use white with heavy clearcoat to make it easy to keep clean.

3...That locker and fridge needs to be next to turn Tennessee Orange.

4...On the wall above the tool box you need a big bright Orange power T hanging there.

I can't wait to see what all you do next.

Sad that work and earning a living has to come 1st, LOL!
