To echo what knuckle wrote, Robert Pirsig (author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance) would say that the QUALITY of the work transcends all opinions on the color.

Thanks for the props. I have to admit I was partial to staying with the biege, but the wife wanted more color… Since she drives it as well I relented. It grows on me every day. Every once in a while, I catch it at the perfect light( sundown) and I smile. Still haven’t color sanded it. Or washed it. I just don’t seem to have the desire, I like a little mud on a truck.Love the orange..!!!
If I were to do a Frankenbuild 40 or 45, “Orange” is on my short list via @archie73 inspiration.
You definitely won’t loose it in the woods..

From 2017^^^
So, after a little over seven years, I’ve taken you up on your offer…Mule 2.0 is now sporting (soonly) some Overland JIS hardware…Didn’t want to rush it. Had to study on it for a bit..
You can amortize the cost over those seven years, for accounting purposes with the princess.

Amortize - derives from the Vulgar Latin Admortire, meaning To Kill.
So yeah, in this situation, seems about right!

I wonder what it means in “Vulgar West Virginian”…. Probably something like, “You @#$&%$# knuckle dragging sum@#$&%, you spent how much on the Mule”…Roughly translated of course..

If you can extrapolate that into an acceptable schedule for the Mrs improvement projects , you’ve missed your calling!

Big day for the Mule.
Tinted liner is in..
RCLC making it happen ahead of schedule. The contrast between the painted surface and the lined areas is spot on and the tone on tone catches the eye.
At a “Decision Point” with the interior

Nice shot from the drivers door.

Seems like a well chosen shade of lighter brown would be the obvious choice for interior.
Unless you’re really brave then go cream/off white.

I assumed he was talking about seats?
As do light seats from blue jeans.

Yes, seats, jump seats and maybe door cards. Ongoing discussion about the headliner as well.

I was thinking something a little more “mundane”..
1st COA. Color isn’t translating well digitally. But, it’s in the park. I’m picking up the seats next week for a date at the upholstery shop. I’ll bracket it then and fire for effect..
