Default Imput needed....Favorite color orange.

With permission I will create a start to finish build log for this car. My goal is to be budget but over the top. Most builders are spending 60k-75k.... my goal is less than half that.

I am at the stage of painting my three and a half year build project. I have settled on some type of orange. Prefer metallic and an off the shelf color (no tri colors). The style of car does not work well with trying to blend a tri color if damage occurs. Though I like SOM and DOM I would like to stay away from Corvette colors. I have been looking at paint chips for over a week but they are starting to blend together and can't really get a feel for the color in a 1 inch by 1 inch square. Here is a link to a buddies completed car. It will give you the idea of the style of

Soooooo..... what color orange do you like, if you know the make and style of the car I can look up the color. I am also not stuck 100% on orange so if there is another color you like, post that too.

Thx for the help.

No worries. I am an equal opportunity giver. So long as your not an ass and can prove you wont crash I'll let anyone drive it (with me in the car if course). I grew up dirt floor poor and just because I have been successful in my adult life doesn't mean I forget I'm still a red neck at heart.

I think I'd be happy being able to just see it run lol I have to prepare for a week if I were to drive it so I could stop giggling like a school girl hahaha
