2003 Paint Options
Does anyone know if GM offered an "orange" color in 2003 on the Z06? I've been shopping around for a 2002/03 Z06 and stumbled upon one that is in great condition and appears to be similar in color to the C6 orange colors. It doesn't appear that the car has been sprayed but i've been unable to locate anything online confiming that color was offered in 2003.
Thanks,
Adam

I've seen one on this forum that someone painted what look to be like inferno or atomic orange, but I searched and was unable to find it.

Orange was not a color offered on any C5. Only the C6 in a recent model.

Looks like the pics don't do it justice. I've seen a '63 in Old Town near Orlando repainted DSOM in it looked like it was made for the car. I look for GM to bring that color back. '68 had a slightly darker version called Corvette Bronze.

Definitely not original. However, looking at the door jams, sills, trunk, etc., I'd say that the paint job is top notch.
Beautiful car.

Still can't find the one I was referring to in an earlier post. It was an orange ZO6 with a black halo. Pics were in front of an old building/factory. Very unique. Still searching.
