Cyber Orange Paint Thread

[3Dogs]

Tip for getting the pearls/flakes to lay right:
Ground the vehicle by attaching a chain or large-gauge wire (set of jumper cables works) from the chassis to a ground stud/rod (not a powered outlet, please).
Air pressure generally in the 25-35psi at the gun range.
Apply a 2-3 medium coats but not too heavy, allowing 15 minutes or so flash time between (hand slick method also applies, meaning when you put your hand/finger on the masking material no paint comes off). Gun distance typically 8-10".
Get real sunlight-quality light to look at it. If not available, roll around Sun Lamps are available and are handy for many uses other than painting (buffing, grilling, cooking on a Blackstone before dawn, etc) because a lot of them are rechargeable, making them very, very handy to have it for use without worrying about cords.
Any blotchiness you see, increase air pressure a bit, back off of the panel to about 12-16" away, fan a "drop coat" on lightly and evenly. Repeat the inspection with the suncolored lighting.

I've only painted one thing (a set of appliances of all things in 1950's era pink) in the past 5 years without some sort of flake or pearl in it (or both).
Painted an Acura TL last summer with 6 different pearls in a mid-coat over top of a factory flake base.
Aside from many Jeep tops done in either matte black or bedliner.

Back on topic though, I've painted so much yellow in my life I can't do the CO for my own vehicle. It is a brilliant, dynamic, and beautiful color and I am sure a lot of you choosing it will be very happy and impressed.
It will go well with matte black accents and even gunmetal grey accents (or is carbonized grey the new appropriate term?).
Especially when clean and bright.
I do recommend a quality Ceramic coating on the whole thing soon after getting it.
Wash it, Clay bar the vehicle, wash it again, follow the instructions on the coating to a "T". Or have it done somewhere that does it professionally.
I can't cheer on the use of it enough.
It's not indestructible armor, but it does protect paint better than a wax, and shines better, longer.

Can you recommend a specific brand of coating you like?

Here's my parking lot pic on top, and your's on the bottom compared to the two old colors:

Looks like a winner to me!

Amazon.com: High Gloss 9H 3D Diamond Hardness nano super ceramic automotive coating car kit,Hocossy Anti-Scratch Super Hydrophobic Liquid Pro Premium Ceramic Car Coating Paint Sealant Protection-30ml: Automotive

This is the best I have found in a decent price-point.
I have not tried the high-end stuff as of yet (just started really experimenting with it maybe 18 months ago).
But the spray-on hybrid wax stuff on the parts store counters don't seem to be as user-friendly or last as long as this one.
I apply it to my black 2019 Z71 about every 6 months. I live and work on gravel roads, so it's not a pavement princess by any means.

Prior to trying this I always used Griot's Garage show wax. That and Meguairs 26 yellow wax are the two best in my opinion on waxes...

I had these exact same reactions when I saw CO in person. The shimmering gold really jumped out at me from multiple angles in both the sun and clouds. I absolutely LOVE this color!

well I hope police don’t mind 1 extra cyber orange vehicle on the beach

ordered my Cyber Orange Badlands Sasquatch with Lux today. I love the color. and Only 1 other order for Cyber Orange from my dealer.

Wait til you put a coat of sealant and some wax on it!

If they remove CO for 2022, we riot. With all the delays and the shortened production for MY21, it would be pretty shady of Ford to yank the color they used in most of their marketing.

Some great new Cyber Orange pictures at this new thread today:

As anticipated, this color being a tri-coat will really show off it's stuff in sunlight!

Love the Gold color that shows up in the paint.

Photoshopped from a red bronco pic but I think it's close to cyber orange. These are 35" tires with 17" rims. I blacked out the windshield surround which I think gives the greenhouse a mean look. I can't decide if I like the side stripe or not. Might be something to mock up with this thing arrives. Thoughts?

Are there any Cyber Orange 2022 devotees that are interested to see how Yellowstone looks in pictures of actual Broncos before making a decision?

I really like this! Nice work!

Pretty sweet graphics, although I wonder if the Bronco lettering would be better on the back as from this angle the grill and front quarter lettering hit the eye together. As a CO Black Diamond owner that isn't far from this build already, I've been thinking it needs something like what you've mocked up on the side to give it added pop. Also thinking about something with a retro feel, but unsure how it will look with its curves. My Bronco has the soft-top and the brush bars added to the front, but otherwise close to this. Not sure how the blacked out surround looks with the top off, it may work as the side mirrors and the plastic section on the hood are black... but then again the roll cage is orange too and that might have to get changed as well to complete the picture.

Didn't see it mentioned yet but Cyber Orange Tricoat was extended to the Base Bronco for 2022 and is now available at every level.

As a Cyber Orange owner, I don't think it's anywhere near CO but I love that! lol

Is that a side stripe available somewhere? love it
