Orange? Maybe it's red oxide primer?

Re: color of orange
maybe it is primer. cause there is still black on it when i thought it was dirt and grime washing off.

Re: color of orange
i doubt it is cheby orange. what i noticed is that it is only on the box. nowhere else, so it's not rattle can. i believe it is the actual color of the box. the box itself without the steering column connected to it is real nice. no slop. maybe it is a rebuilt one. who knows?
