Paint Jail Parolee
Well, after 6 months, the car is done with paint. The guys did a great job, and I can't wait to get it back and get it running.
For what it's worth, the paint is Land Rover Vesuvius Orange, and the drip rails were also shaved. Drew Brothers Customs in Phoenix did the work.

That is a damn nice color, I think she is going to be a pretty sweet ride.

Outstanding paint job, she's straight as an arrow! Looks like a very reputable shop too, since there's a wrecked Bondurant car in the background.

Thanks for the comments, it certainly is refreshing to see it looking more like a car than it has in the past 4 years.
Definitely going to try and expedite the rest. I have packages of OPG, Howell, Painless, and plenty others in the garage to keep me busy!

Excellent color choice!!
I wonder how "Vesuvius Orange" would look on a 68 Camaro ragtop? (black top / black interior) I gotta get some PhotoChop skills.

Great color choice. I'd love to see how the sun bounces off of that.

Very nice. I bet that paint really comes alive with the sun out.

Is that a pearl or metallic paint or just solid?

The paint is lotsa metallic. In non-direct sunlight it has more of an orange appearance to it, but in the direct light it shifts to more of a gold.
I'm glad it turned out OK, because I couldn't find a Land Rover dealership with one in stock to check....thankfully the crap shoot turned out in my favor.
