Looks great! Orange is a good color for the C5. I'm loving the reflection effects on the paint.

That orange color looks awesome on your car. I sure wish that Chevy had offered it from the factory.

Paint looks great, but turn your cell phone on its side to take car pics. Match aspect of picture to subject!!
