How much were the materials? Did you spray it as a 3 stage or 2?

Anyone have an Atomic Orange C3?
Ive been looking at colors to paint my 77 and I really like the new atomic orange that they introduced on the 07 C6. Anyone else have that color or maybe someone could photoshop it? I think it looks great on the C6's but Im not sure if it would work on a C3. What do you guys think?

I guess they are kind of close but the atomic orange seems a lot darker and "pops" a lot more. I would imagine it has a ton of pearl in it. Still, that vette does look awesome orange!

Yeah, OO is not a metallic paint job and is closer match to the expired Dark Sunset Orange Metallic. I just figured OO would give you an idea just how a C3 would look with a darker orange.

Im not opposed to "updating" an older vette's exterior color, I think the Atomic would look great, but I am torn between that and Daytona Sunset on which is the best orange. Though Spiral Grey is my all time fav.
If you need a body seal kit after the paint job let me know.

Where did you get your materials?
