Living with Cyber Orange.?

[Naranjita]

Over 16,000 miles now and I still love my Cyber Orange color selection. It is fun and helps brighten up the dreary gray Pacific NW.

I will say this though...it seems to attract bugs. Since it's turned summer, small bugs, gnats, moths, flies, bumble bees seem drawn to the color. I live next to a marsh, and sometimes in the morning I will come out and the truck can be pretty covered.

I also have to wash more bugs off my front end than my other cars. But it's not a big deal. It's worth it.

I would totally shake the hand of the marketing genius that put "Center Line Yellow" road paint on a truck and then convinced the world it was orange.

I love my cyber orange. Here's some pics.

Crazy that the Maverick doesn't look much smaller then the early 2000s F-150s.

It looks yellow until it's next to a yellow vehicle.

Let's call it by its actual name, Yellow.

I agree with the others

It is crazy how it shifts colors, once in awhile it almost looks like a copper color - don’t regret it one bit!

I will be ordering a 2023 in Cyber Orange!

I saw an F150 with the "Tonka' package.
It made we wonder if anyone with the Cyber Orange will be doing their own version...

Yup

Question for all the Cyber Orange Folks - has anyone had issues with touching-up any paint chips, etc and getting it to blend in? This is a tri-color paint which are notoriously hard to match. Just wondering.

I do like the color but to much like the public works trucks in my old city. Just need to paint the roof and pillars black and people will bug you daily to fix their pot holes!

My maverick had a slight scuff and a chip on the front bumper from transit. The dealer repainted it perfectly, with no apparent inconsistencies.

It's not yellow. It's like if you look at a color wheel where a color like blue gradually turns into a purple. Cyber yellow is like that. Barely more orange than yellow, but still orange.

Tomato tomato. We all know it’s really yellow.

Cyber Orange is the BEST color for these reasons:
1) You'll never lose it in a parking lot.
2) I've not experienced, or heard of any complaints, about Cyber Orange suffering paints chips like the other colors.
3) It is always changing from a multitude of hues of orange and yellow depending on the outside lighting conditions.
4) The "school bus" color subconsciously causes other drivers around you to be a little safer. [no scientific data to back this up, obviously]
5) It is just a fun and happy color to brighten your day every time you step outside and see the truck awaiting you to get in and drive it.

#2 good point... I have never painted anything yellow that didn't take at least three coats ... So maybe heavier paint?

Going around the wheel the pie slices should be yellow, school bus yellow, then cyber orange

The paint kit I got off Amazon works great.
Product: PAINTSCRATCH Touch Up Paint Tricoat Bottle Car Scratch Repair Kit - Compatible/Replacement for Ford Mach-E Cyber Orange Tricoat (Color Code: SB/M7450)

But you have to put down a base coat, let dry, pearly metallic coat, let dry and then top clear coat. Extra work and patience. Looks good though.

I have done about 7 or 8 chip repairs now in 9 mos/16k miles.
