Yeah. My paint shop just punches in the code and out comes my paint. Matched to my exact specs.

Hmmm, Well then they must not have the formula...Now that i think about it he didn't seem too concerned with the paint code I supplied him

what you are doing to your beast sounds great, I thought I had the only Ramcharger in Florida, I have been restoring little bit at a time, I have had the body in the body shop for over a month, (second time around) and I am rebuilding the engine in my garage! as $$$ allows, lots of luck on yours, can't wait to see the pics when you are done.

Only new thing to report is I think i'm just gonna leave it the color it is and see if the hot Florida sun won't help brighten it up a little...
My wife doesn't want me spending anymore on paint...She's put her foot down so if I wanna stay out of the dog house I must comply...besides she loves having her garage back

I've been trying to get down and get her registered but I've been so busy lately with everything going on I haven't had the chance yet.....With Christmas fast approaching I am having to start my christmas ordering for our site...This is not only a pain in the butt but also VERY time consuming...big downfall to owning your own business....

Anywho, I'll keep everyone posted and when I get my step by step pictures developed I'll post them for all to see...

Thanks
Jess

Sorry guys I know I'm not keeping up with this as I should.....

I'll be here more often now that most of my work is caught up elsewhere....

Well we finally took OrangeCrush out for a "Test" run in holopaw....She did very well considering I couldn't get her to go into 4WD for 2 hours. Once I jerry rigged the CAD 4WD worked fine...We had a blast running her in the "Fenceline" which is basicly a hard bottom lake....It's about 3 feet deep with spots up to 8 feet.....She runs the 3 and 4 feet without any problem but any deeper and she struggles...That will soon change with my 38's on there...I gotta get another 2 inches of front lift to fit the 38's...still working on that.

Anyway our trip did end with breaking something...I broke the front band in my tranny and lost second gear...by the time we made it home, reverse and first were slipping pretty bad so as I type the tranny is out and sitting in the garage awaiting a rebuild....I'll get to it sooner or later....

UPDATE:

Tranny has been rebuilt but I'm now having problems with it puking fluid everywhere.....I think i've narrowed it down to a governor issue but not positive yet...I havent had much time lately to spend on it recently.

Will update as there is something new to share

Orange C- prolly a lil late but as long as you use same gallon of paint and mix the same and spray with same pressure your color will be fine,
What type of paint did you use? Does it have very very fine, almost non-existant flake in it like the real stuff did? I love that color.
