Interior and floor: What color?

[DieselWarrior]

Taking a poll to see what color TSC enamel you think I should paint the interior and floor of the DieselWarrior project truck:

Im going with gloss white right now, because it will not be as hot inside as a darker color as the sun shines inside on the interior surface. (Thinking: Anything to not be HOT, thats why I changed my mind from black)



Transport Yellow:

Gloss White:

Kubota Orange: (Maybe will be too hot in the summer?)

International Harvester White: (Kinda tan)

John Deere Yellow: (A darker yellow than transport yellow)

BTW the poll is set to expire in 2 weeks, thats the longest it should be before I shoot color in it.

My latest brainstorm... since the outside is going to be flat desert tan (Majic paint), the IH White's tanish color would be a sweet match up.. plus it is a bit on the light side for reflecting more than it would absorb in the light, wont show dirt or scratches near as bad as a white or a black.

So Ill vote myself for IH White.

AFAIK, this is an example of IH white, which looks tan to me...

Only in the 'binder world would that be called "white"...

Thank you all. Good feedback and ideas! I love this site, I may just have to upgrade. Well, I will after my build. Im totally zero-buck building this thing up, literally selling my prized possessions on ebay to pay for the repairs.

I dont EVEN want to sell my Icom 718, but... its up for sale too. Ive GOT to get this project finished ASAP.

THEN, Ill have some cash-o-la I can part with to upgrade on CK5. :-)

Selling the HAM?

Selling the HAM?

Yeah... but in reality its more rig than I *need*, but all the rig I *want*.

99% of my time, Im on 40m... Of that, 99% of my time Im CW.... Sooo... Ill sell the 718 to pay for the project, and later get ANOTHER (it was my first ever HF rig) Kenwood TS-120S. I *loved* that radio, even if it was older than me (J/K), it was a lot of fun to operate! If I really want WARC, I can cabbage up a TS-130S for a bit more, but I should be able to get a 120 for about $250 delivered to the house.

The things we do.... to wheel our rig.
