I like it a lot.....

I requested a picture of the Punkn next to a Firecracker Red, which they are going to do for me Friday. Maybe someone can get them to do it tomorrow?
The biggest tomato on the left side is the closest to Punk"n.
I feel like that photo will look something like this. Bonus: Mojito up top, Hella Yella at bottom for added comparison.
Seemingly the same amount of metallic...
It's pure orange like a real pumpkin.Here it is, courtesy of Jacky Jones Chrysler Jeep:
Which is too bad as I really liked the color in the Jeep.com rendering. I actually tried ordering a Punk'n about a 3 weeks ago but it wasn't available so I switched to Bright White and now I am glad things worked out as they did.It's pure orange like a real pumpkin.
JUST SAW THE PUNK'N RUBICON with my own eyes.......
Took a road trip to Hayesville NC this morning and met with a great, knowledgable salesman, John Mirandi, at Jacky Jones Jeep; 828 389 1968. After last night's very disappointing pictures on this forum of the Punk'n Jeep, I all but decided not to make the drive. But, I went anyway and will be posting some pics...for what they're worth.
Bottom line, yesterday's photos were not really close to what the color actually looks like. I would call Firecracker red a true red like on the color spectrum we saw in 3rd grade art class. Well, Punk'n is a true orange, what I would call orange orange. I would comfortably order one tomorrow, and I might, but we (you know) would really like to see Nacho and Mojito in person which we have not.
It still amazes me how photos can look so different from reality. Punk'n is a nice bright (not fluorescent) orange, just like Firecracker is a nice bright red. I really liked it and think most people looking for orange will love it. It is not copper-like and I had to look really hard to see any metallic. If it is metallic, it is the least visible of any I've seen and it really looks mostly non metallic, which I personally love. It is a rich, full bodied, real color, not hazy and reminds me a bit of Harley orange. It also is close to Stihl (chainsaws etc.) orange only better.
For a guy who is tired of gray, black, white, silver etc., no offense intended, this Punk'n excited me and it looked awesome with the black top. Go ahead and buy one. Pics to follow.
