    I've done some searching but didn't find anything too specific. Has anybody come up with a close match to Inferno in a readily-available spray paint? I'm not wanting to spend enough to pay for the OEM spray paint. I'm not painting anything on the truck per say, just an old Yakima cargo box that I put on the truck for ski trips and to head out to Moab each year. The box was only $40 so I wanted to have a little fun with restoring it. I suppose I can hit the hardware store and match the caps. Hemi orange, perhaps? You can see the white Yakima box in the pic below. I built a bed mount for it.

    Thanks.

    Thanks for that link! I failed to mention in my first post that I wasn't wanting to go with the cost of the actual OEM spray paint. I suppose I may though.

    Finished product turned out really well! I’ve got new YAKIMA stickers on the way.

    Curious, did you find a readily available spray bomb or did you order from the above site/apply all within three days?

    Spray can, surprisingly. I was shocked how well "Chevy Red-Orange" matched. Not Chevy Orange.

    Interesting, what brand? Dupli-color? I want to paint my grill and would like to see how close it is! I have this mental block where I don't want to buy paint online.. but if I can go to the store and buy it, thats a different story.

    Good job on the Yakima box, it looks good!

    Yep, Oreilley's has it. Probably most others. Your call but I'm not sure I'd use it for something permanent on the truck. This Yakima box is on my truck for about 2 weeks per year so I didn't need a perfect match.

    Here's an option for anyone interested but it's not cheap, it is a color matched product. Different kits and options available depending on application.

    I'm sure there are probably other brands out there also.
