Browntggrr Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 ^Actually, the color on Magnum is molly orange. Well for some reason, CP decided to make it a two tone where the first half is the "Moly orange" and the second half is the original color. But even the "moly orange" still looks red. That was before it was re-painted. It's now back to red. Pre-paint job: http://www.pointbuzz.com/Gallery.aspx?i=429 Post paint job: http://www.pointbuzz.com/Gallery.aspx?a=386 Here is a great shot of both before & after colors: http://www.pointbuzz.com/gallery.aspx?i=2199 I find it rather intresting that a ride manufacturer's original paint fades and weathers rather quickly.

The Interpreter Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I am quite sure the ride manufacturers would, for additional cost, use whatever paint that was specified by the buyer. Oftentimes, a budget must be met and costs are cut. Paint seems a particularly dumb area to scringe on, though. Then again, have you ever noticed that almost, but not all, red paint seems to fade really, really fast? Before Steel Force was finally painted, it had turned nearly pink, except in the station where the sun and weather didn't hit it as much.
