Some of you may remember but I posted a poll on what color to paint my Cherokee and the winner by a slim margin was Go ManGo. It is the burnt orange color you see on the new Daytona/Hemi Chargers and the Daytona/Hemi Dodge Trucks. Here are the 'in-process' pictures with pictures of the paint coming soon (it is painted now but I forgot my camera when I saw it...)

Before it went to paint:

In primer, blocked and ready for paint:

That color is pretty cool. I can't wait to see it.

I think I'm going with the Salsa Red Pearl Coat they put on the 2002 Libertys.

Did you have it down to the metal? What did you use to prep the bare metal?

I kinda like the gray primer look as a second choice. But alas I'm prolly the last ol'fart on earth that still thinks 'flat black with flames' is the only color for special projects. :)

edit: thought I'd throw in an 'atta boy' Brent. Nice work you've done there even though your color choice is way wrong. Nice job regardless! ;)

I'm not old either and I agree with you. It ALMOST stayed flat black but my painter buddy owed me money soooooo... well you know the rest. Going that route would have been a helluva lot cheaper as the paint color (not including the clear or the reducers or the primers, etc) came to $600 per gallon.. OUCH!! Thankfully it only took one gallon.

Some of it went to bare metal but not all of it, I didn't have an unlimited amount of $$ to spend. The parts that did he probabnly sprayed with self etching primer or something similar I guess ( <----- I am not a body guy)

Since it has been primered for 4 years, I am sure you'll be jazzed to have the new shiney Mango on it Brent. Good Luck and show some of that Mango off soon! :thumbsup:

Brent,
That looks great! I love the color; but I might be a little biased. Show us more, what engine/driveline are you going to put in? I like it a lot!:thumbsup:

I will show you more when I get it back....

The drivetrain is pretty well done, it is a Chev 350 Tuned Port Injected, 700R4 and Chev NP208 with SYE. The axles are stock.

Thanks for the compliments!

It looks pretty much the same... Oh NO!!

When I got it back, I spent some time putting new floor pans in it and after that was done, we decided to paint the interior the same color (I was going to paint it black or gray or tan or something). After that was completed it was November and my son was born so that has taken some time away from my projects and being winter, it is cold.

So there it is, i am also working on my M715 too, and my 1971 Chev Truck, all are almost done but not quite. I will work a lot more on this this spring.

Thanks!

Can you say "radar red"? Garunteed to turn every LEO's head. You might be sued for causing whiplash. Get ready for the tickets! At the very least a lot of nuisance pulloveres.
