the saleen orange color is called berylium(sp) it is "NOT" a normal production color for anything other than the handfull of saleens that are "factory" custom painted with it. i talked to saleen and found out that the only way to get it...would be if i was doing a documented repair on a saleen that was sold with that color on it... no code...no formula... they send it to a basf dealer and the dealer sends it to you with a rep who takes any/all extra when your done spraying.

similar deal to the mystique when it first came out.... on saleens about 2 years before it was made available to general public.

i managed to bench mix a similar color that has the mad gold flop to it, using hok solar gold base, gold & silver pearl mid coat, and kandy tangerine, then clear.... but this would not be a good color for a driver...as touch ups or matching would be almost impossible.

its a cool color, but i think one would be much better off just sticking to normal factory colors.
