    Luscious! There seem to be a lot of VX'ers with graphical talent (nice banner, CRYK!). Anyone remember the "Tijuana Taxi" model kit form the '60's? It showed that not every orange vehicle need look like a CalTrans truck ;-)

    I was toying around with some oranges in Photoshop a while back and couldnt find one that worked for me. Seems like it kept making the VX look LESS unique, which was even more odd. I think I posted those pics here way back when.... somewhere. Just make sure you do some Photoshopping with it BEFORE you make that leap. $8k later when you have an orange VX and find it ISNT what you expected, it's tends to be a little late.

    Not trying to bust your bubble, but I used to be a car painter as well and have seen people make these decisions, only to pick up their vehicle and go "Um.... not quite what I expected....".

    If you would like to ‘keep it in the family’, Isuzu offered a rather appealing shade of metallic orange on the 2nd Gen Rodeo and Amigo/Rodeo Sport…




    There are several photos that really capture the luminance of the color in this thread at 4x4Wire.
