Right, this is a test the water type thread  I am going to be repainting my car shortly, well the inside and engine bay for sure, outside will come later Its Orange at the moment.... some would say sh1t brown but hey  I want to keep it close to original but would prefer something slightly more orange There is a Porsche close to me in a nice shade, but havent caught up with him yet  So the task is...... Pics of Period (70`s) colour schemes and oranges especially Heres what it looks like now:   And heres some others in period colour schemes     Post away peeps Paint codes or at least a clue would be good Cheers Dom |

what about VW tomato red - which is basically a reddish orange. or something more KTM inspired? edited to add, this bronzy orange and silver works quite well  |

Been getting dirty thoughts about Focus ST Orange too ;D But I want to keep it a period colour, so no metallics or pearls I`m afraid  |

Ford signal orange www.mark2escort.com/images/rally_05/orange-rs-2000-large.jpg I know its the enemy but its a nice colour, actually I think its the same as Porsche signal orange. Theres also VW phoenix orange which is a bit of a lighter shade but not quite as 70's as signal orange. But personally think bright in ur face yellow would look good, don't think I've ever seen a bright yellow kadett just the black/yellow 2-tone one |

Can you get any more 70's than Porsche Blood orange?  Or keeping it in the GM family, How's about Hugger orange?  |
