Thanks, I looked at it......not orange enough..too brown. Does anyone have a pic of a corvette with a unique color that looks great... It would be nice to see some different color schemes.

Actually, a tri-stage is the only way to go if you want depth.

I usually use a candy tangerine over a gold metallic (I've sprayed at least 40 motorcycles this color). A ton of depth to this color. Haven't seen the new GM orange, but it sure looks like it's a tri-stage (or a tinted clearcoat as they call it so the environmental . people don't get them)

if you want something in a bc/cc possibly the Mitsubishi orange color
