that's UPS truck brown..or more correctly "merion brown". anyway, its doable..but ... PREP is KEY!!!! if the surface isnt properly prepped, then paint will peel. i parted out a van that had a color change.. cheap earl shieb job. everything was masked off, not removed, and there was peeling and orangepeel, runs. fisheyes everywhere.. also it looked like crap in the doorjambs where it was the original color.. anyway, surface prep is key. chris |
