Code Orange shackles anyone?

[c-dubb]

I'm on the lookout for ones in code orange or at least close enough to it. In case anyone is wondering--this is not it:

Amazon.com: AUTMATCH Shackle Hitch Receiver 2 Inch with 3/4" D Ring Shackle and 5/8" Trailer Hitch Lock Pin, 45,000 Lbs Break Strength Heavy Duty Receiver Kit for Vehicle Recovery, Orange : Automotive

That one is much too 'orangey' IRL:

Archetype Racing is making Code Orange Shackles - and their new slightly smaller SITH shackles look like a home run - I had just received my full size SITH shackles - I did not go code orange - went with black.

I just used code orange touch up spray paint on these Rhino USA 40,000lb D-Shackle rubber protectors and it turned out pretty good! I also used the same paint on my RokBlokz mud flaps and it’s a pretty close match

Nice where do I buy the spray paint?

Got it Here. Didn’t use a clear coat on the shackles, but it probably wouldn’t hurt to. I did use a clear coat on the mud flaps. The color looked way more orange on the bottle but looks good once it dries.

What flaps are those?

I got the RokBlokz in black and painted them. Expensive but solid, easy install, and way more door protection than the OEM ones.

Thanks. I couldn't bring myself to pay their price for those. They look great with the paint though. Nice touch.

Thank you! They are pricey. I’ve gotten 2 pretty big dents on my doors already from rocks getting thrown. I needed something, anything, to slow that rate of denting down a little

Bummer! I hope they are a good solution. Please report back if the rates drops or gets to zero.

Take the doors off and dress the passengers for battle.

From my experience and understanding spray paint has genuinely terrible adhesion to rubber. Also as the rubber flexes, the paint will crack and peel.

@c-dubb did you find anything that matches closely? Before seeing this thread, I too bought the AUTMATCH in Orange and it is not even close to the right color.

Nope just got red.

How long did it take to receive your shackles from Archetype?
