On being released, it was overpainted in a heavy coat of Silver paint, and a later coat of BFB Blaze Orange paint. Where this paint is now peeling, there is nice un-faded KG3 paint underneath, also supporting the story that it was a young truck when picked up. The Interior remains in KG3, but has seen a lot of use.
I have not seen photos of early BFB trucks in service to note if silver was a colour used by them in the late-40's and 50's, but Blaze Orange was certainly the widely used colour by the 60's.
