I've been thinking about painting my Dmax for quite sometime,I was leaning towards blue until I ran accross this on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4553066678&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1
I think it looks great,why doesn't GM offer this color?

You can order one in that color or close to it. It is called Tangier Orange if I remember correctly. There is a Tahoe where I bought my truck from that has one that color. There has also been Silverado's and Avalanches there too.

Because they are cheap, so they only offer so many color choices. Usually if they get 8-10 orders for a custom color then they will do it. Like the yellow trucks you see around...
Interesting color there. Do it...

i would check out House of Kolor Paints before you decide. www.HOKPaint.com (http://www.HOKPaint.com) screen might not do them justice though. i helped a friend paint a boat with some of their colors last weekend, very sweet colors.

I'm pretty sure they do offer that color, it may be special order as stated before. I've been on the road a ton this year and I've seen a bunch of GM trucks that color, now that I think about it a bunch wre out in MO. Maybe a dealer or two are ordering them that way...

I believe that if you are a fleet buying you can order in any color you want.

I think if you added some brown stripes it would scream " Cleveland Browns" mascot.):h

Looks like the standard MDOT orange truck shade right there....

BBB, I know you are a painter, so to complete the look, just remember to leave a lot of "orange peel" in the paint....:lol: Then it would look very realistic!

I like it, I wanted a little different color also so I ordered a yellow one, I thought it would look good, a big yellow crewcab, lifted with lots of chrome..and when it came in, it wasnt what I had pictured, adullish yellow, not bright at all, black air dam, black flares, looked like a bumble bee, come to find out any special order color had the black attire. -:t

That looks Like the Caltrans orange that you can order, atleast in Ca, IIRC. Remember seeing it when I went on the gmbuypower website a while back.

So how much does extra do the special colors cost?
