Sebring Orange Metalic 2018 new color, what do you think?
Other than an announcement that this is s new color for 2018 there are no photos of a corvette with this color that I could find. Any impressions or comments on this new color would be appreciated as I am considering to place an order for a 2018 GS in this new color..

I saw the example they had at the Corvette tent at Carlisle.
I wasn't really impressed however it's very difficult to tell much from
such a small sampling.
I am a huge fan of Daytona Sunrise Orange.

I have been slightly considering changing my order to Sebring Orange non peel but I won't do it if I can't see it in person. No other GM cars use that paint code so that rules out walking the Chevy lots. I was at the NCM in Bowling Green last week and they did not have anything in SO on display.
What leads me to believe this particular orange has going for it is that it has metal flake and it will utilize the new paint shop. Still need to see it in person though before changing my order.

Daytona Sunrise Orange was a better color, as was Atomic Orange but I guess there's somebody who needs a title and thus they keep making these microscopic, if unnecessary, changes.....

It's a big car with a lot of surface. If you're unsure now, wait until you can see it on the whole car, maybe even in person vs. pics.

I think it looks good, but I still prefer Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic.

What what I've seen, which isn't much, I might have gone with the orange over Black Rose had it been available at the time. But even the new orange isn't my idea of the ideal Corvette orange.
That being said I am still more than happy with Black Rose and won't be changing anything for a long time.

I need to see it in person, but I think I'm really going to love it. I see a Sebring Orange ZR1 in my future.

GM should offer a white leather interior that way if you get both you can say that you drive a Creamsicle.

I've seen the panel personally. I held it in my hands. Good looking color-NO orange peel at all.

Looking at the ordering guide, with Sebring orange exterior you can only get black or Kalahari interior, not gray or red.

From what I can tell in the pictures it looks very good. I can’t wait to see it on the Corvette in person...in the sun!

I'm not an orange guy, however I do like that GM released a bold metallic color and not another dark blue, dark red, or gray. Because as we all know, the C7 is long overdue for another gray paint.
