Default Sunset Orange

Does anyone have any pics of a C3 in Daytona Sunset Orange? If you don't know, thats the bronzey looken color that some C6 are painted.

Thanks,
Nate

I believe the official color is called sunburst orange metalic. I as well plan on eventually painting my 79 this color and have tinkered with the idea of adding a black stripe.

I was also considering this color on my '70, but maybe not not since it seems to be popular. I was also thinking that Z06 blue on it, not sure yet.
