    Great looking paint job. That was the color I was going with if I hadn't gone back to original. Let's see more!

    The color is actually an original 1949 chevy color. Im not completely sure if it was a truck color as well but it was on 1949 chevy cars. The color is called oxford maroon and i got a metallic flake added in which i think makes the whole paint job.

    I'm with Gater!

    Show us some more pictures! Oxford maroon was a very popular car color from '47 through '50. Commercial vehicles didn't get to have that fancy metallic stuff, they had to settle for Cape maroon poly. Sure looks good on your truck.

    Nice truck

    In Texas this would be the near perfect Aggie Truck. Maroon!

    Probably some vintage merlot on the other side of the Rockies.

    Great Job Mr. Brown!
