Dale Jr's Orange 2nd gen
 

Was there ever a story done on this car in one of our favorite mags?
Curious about the build. Besides what DSE has on their website. More details desired.

I think I seen it in Hot Rod a couple years ago.

Yeah it was in Hot Rod...read it at my dad's since I don't get that book anymore...have no idea what month/year that was though! I know - BIG help I am!! :lol:

Do a search on HR's site, they may have it online now?

December of '07. I have it right here. What would you like to know?

It's orange, has tires (four), it has some lights and a motor. Glad I could help.
:rofl: :rofl:

Seriously, I do have the article right here. I would be happy to relay any specific info in it. Other than the article and DSE web site I know nothing more about it.:cheers:

Colors
 

What orange is on the car?

The article only says this "..Sherwin Williams provided it's Planet Color paint for Juniors Camaro. It's a three stage system with an orange base, then a metalflake/pearl coat, then a clear coat...Kyle Tucker calls it Home Depot Orange.....the engine compartment and trunk are finished in Planet Color Cup Grey."

Sorry there is not a specific paint code or name. That is all they say about the color.

I remember Kyle saying he doesn't even know the paint code (but I could be wrong) as Jr provided the paint. Top Secret I guess??

I imagine there is a way to get it from Sherwin Williams. Or at least something very close. Without seeing it in person I would have a hard time matching it. But in some pictures it looks darker than others.

Color
 

It does seem to darken with diminished light. It looks similar to a PPG Vibrance color or the HOK Tangelo. I plan on doing my car in HOK Tangelo but would consider that color if I knew what the heck it was!

I will do some digging and see what I can come up with. I have a friend who works for SW and may be able to get a clue. It will have to be next week before I can get him to look into it.
