Welcome to the forum. The Paystar sounds like fun. Are you going to use the blade from the Ford Dump, or use the one from AITM? You might be able to use gloss Orange and mist it with dull coat. This would give you areas where there is still mild shine, yet give you areas where the paint has completely dulled. A trip to a junk yard would give you some reference. This also can be done with a polishing kit. Going down through three or four grits will remove the shine, yet will also leave the surface varied in uniformity.

Yes Douglas Iam going to use the blade and dump from the snow plow kit

I have only been up north for a month and most of my stuff is still

inroute by ship so work on the paystar is delayed.

will keep you posted

I have taken lots of reference photos of the truck,

will take some of the blade this week

For the weathered look, Floquil makes a lot of flat, dull looking colors designed for model railroaders. I bet they have a nice flat, dull washed out orange that would look good on an old plow!
