The right shade of orange
 

Im am set to paint my blue 67Camaro this winter and I'm thinking of going with an orange. I'm leaning towards hugger orange, but not sure. I want a deep shade of orange thats not too light. Any suggestions? Pics maybe?

Code 57 Burnt Orange Metallic on my 81 Trans Am, looks like pearl but does not have any
in it.

How about burnt orange?

The orange listed above was my first thought too. There is a color on the '07-'08 Corvettes and HHR that is nice looking. They both have some pearl/metallics in them though. I did see a 71 Camaro up here with the same base color as the vette but without the pearls mixed in and it really looked good. I would think any decent paint shop could mix it without the pearl in it for you.:cheers:

This color looks great. Its a 2005 Viper orange

iv seen Lamborghini looks good, and iv seen Lotus looks awesome

I've thought about those burnt orange colors. My father has a 65 Buick Riviera for sale that is burnt orange (2000 Prowler Orange) and a 32 Ford Sedan (Hugger Orange). I like the ornage on Andy Kleinsteuber's 69 Camaro. I was told that it was hugger orange.. It must have a few good clear coats. I'm starting to see that just about any color looks good if the styling of the car is right.

I like that orange too. I think I saw a viper that color a few weeks ago.

Is there a name or a specific year for the lamborghini orange you are thinking of? That was actually one that crossed my mind.

Here are some more orange colored cars. Check out the orange chrome paint. Crazy. It's probably not what you are looking for but I thought it would be cool to show you guys.

Here are some more. Is the orange on the Gallardo what you are talking about?

Lamborghini Orange
 

The name of the paint is Lamborghini Orange Pearl Mica, I also am considering this color. It costs more to do since it is three stage paint. Attached are some pics.

Theres a car is those pics?:willy:

You have some options on the above mentioned choices. Ive done some homework on this awhile back ago;

Lambo has 2 orange colors-
PPG 0057 Arancio Ishtar 2ct
PPG 0058 Arancio Atlas Mic 2ct (this is the metallic one)

Viper has 3 orange colors year specific
PVK Orange Blast pearl coat
PK3 Burnt orange
Very Orange pearl coat

Vette
Atomic Orange 2007-09
Daytona Sunset orange 2006
Sunset orange 2005


Ive seen all these colors in person except for Lambo PPG 0057, from what Ive seen in mags the Lotus orange looks nice also
My narrowed down preference;
Viper Orange Blast pearl coat
Lambo metallic
Vette atomic orange
and towards the orange/brown the copperhead viper

I looked everywhere in those pics for a Lambo. I tried and tried but still didn't see any cars at all.....I am going to go look again......just to be sure.....:_paranoid

I am thinking of the PPG 0058 . I was going to say I like the left side of the first orange car but, when I saw the hood of the second oragne car I forgot what I liked about the first car. WOW!

the mazdaspeed spicy orange is a nice color too. has a gold pearl to it. very close to that lambo orange.

i am planning to paint my challenger the lambo orange. iveseen it in person on fesler's mustang. its beautiful. try to google the feslerbuilt mustang

im a big fan of the orange on this mclaren f1

Wow. That chrome paint was crazy. Never seen anything like it. I think it would be good for stripes, but I wouldnt go with it for the paint. I actuall was considering chrome stripes though

Yea, I think I have seen the orange on that gallardo. I went to google images and did a search for orange paint jobs and that color cam up alot. Thanks guys, Ive never seen so many orange cars in my life. lol

What car are you considering this color on?

What year is your challenger? What is the name of the orange on the new challenger? Is that Hemi Orange? Is that much different than hugger orange?

That orange is mean. The car looks like a demon. It's nice.

GM Sunset Orange Metallic.

I was thinking of painting my '69 Camaro this color with Cyber Gray stripes.

www.paintwithpearl.com it doesnt have to be a 1000 dollar a gallon lambo paint... even a simple metallic BC/CC+(candy or mica) 2 stage... will look just as awesome....

and it doesnt have to cost a fortune

I saw a 2005 Lambo on Saturday with the orange paint. I have to say that in person it looks just killer on that car. Of course it was inside a dealer and under the ideal lighting too. But deuce is right, any BC CC job done right will look just as good and not kill your budget.

^^What PASD U said. Anyone?

Haha, you thought getting a hold of Saleen's Beryllium orange was difficult...
