    Calling all red rovers

    If you have a red series truck I would like to see some pictures... Especially if they are recent sprays and you know the color...

    I'm torn between poppy reds.. The posted color codes gave me two different samples.. And I couldn't even mix up Masai due to the store being out of a pigment...

    Just looking to see where others have been before I jump in.

        here is the 68 i used to have painted in a flat red. Dont remember the details of the color but i loved it. I think flat colors look sweet on series rigs.

          I have a IIA 109 SW I will be repainting this summer and possibly changing the color to poppy red, do you have any more pics of your 109?
          thanks,

                Rustoleum Regal Red is a fairly close match to Masai Red. I painted my tailgate with the rattle can and it matched the rest of the truck close enough.

                Are you looking for a great paint job or just making it one color?

                  can you post a picture of the dash area of the truck. What would have been the original color of the instrument panel? I've seen them both black and the truck color. Sorry for jumping in on this thread but I'm also doing a red rover.

                      thats kinda what I have, but after replacing doors and what not it needs to shot with color.

                      i think I saw your truck this summer on the island.. my wife actually saw it and said that was my truck only nicer..
                      I would very much like to get paint codes, or any info you can throw my way..
                      I got an exact match on my limestone, but the reds im mixing up are just not cutting it.

                        I saw Ike's post number 2 with the truck color inst panel. I have a 69IIa but the panel is black on a red truck. The aux panel is also black but the heater cover is truck color red. That's why I ask what was original or did trucks come either way or is this something year specific?.

                            The 68 went off island to a new home a few years ago, never to be seen again The 71 soft top is my dads daily driver and spends most of its time in town so very possible if thats what you saw, its the only one like it around. Ill have to wait until tomorrow when i can look through the office and find some old paperwork. It was made nice by the folks at 4x4 center in VT for starters, limestone wheels and roof top. PM me your email and ill send you all the pics and info i have
