Wrong orange.

I got my gift from GM and the orange isn’t close. Has anyone received a Sebring Orange gift or is this for any orange?

Isn't there something, anything more important in your life that a semi mismatched model?

Just a simple question. Obviously, you don't have anything more important in your life than to respond to it.
Maybe you would prefer another question like "how do you wash your C8" ? or is "ceramic coating worth it"? How about "is that ticking noise normal"?

Paint it the correct color...then give it PPF and ceramic coating.

I never heard of these models until mine showed up on my door step. I know others fawn over them, but it’s really a nothing burger to me.

You could always take it to your local body shop and have it color matched...

I wasn't trying to make a big deal about it. I thought they may have sent the wrong one since it looks like Amplify Orange and not Sebring Orange.
I didn't expect so many panties in a bunch about it.

The solution here is simple. Sell your car and get an E-Ray. That will insure that the model does not have any color-matching issues.

The one I received for my 2025 is definitely a Sebring Orange speed shape model.

Thank you. That's the answer I was looking for. It's not a big deal but I figured the one I got was amplify orange. I think I will file a complaint with the DOJ.

Yep, what I thought, crying about a stupid model because it wasn't a perfect match, then this sophomoric reply. All the emotional maturity of a 12 year old.

It looks about as "close" as the GM touch-up paint I got for my pewter metallic C5. It was awful, so I went aftermarket. Looks like time for a paint job on your geegaw.

How about I show both of you what a forum vacation looks like. Cease or face the consequences.
