Default Atomic Orange C5???

Anyone know of a C5 thats been painted Atomic Orange??
If so, pics?? Wife loves the color and is looking for her first vette.
She really likes the C5 over the C6 but the C6 may win out cause she is totally in love with the Atomic Orange!! Looks like my 99 coupe may be getting a stable mate soon!!!

Are you aware there was two different shades of orange, !st on the 2005,2006 it was called sunburst and I think in 2007 started the atomic orange. I actually like the sunburst better. Almost pruchase one but ended up with a 2000 black conv.

I've seen some on this forum, do a search for "orange c5" and see what you can find. Don't know what color orange you'll find here, but I've seen several. They looked great, too.

Yea, the first orange was called Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic and then came the Atomic Orange. Both beautiful colors. There have been a few forum member's cars that have been painted one of these colors. Hopefully someone has some pics for you.
