Testors go Mango

[iBorg]

Before I order a can or two....is this a metalflake or a gloss. I need a metalflake that matchens this:http://www.slixx.com/7105.htm

It is starting to challenge me.

Thanks!

Go Mango is not metalflake, try Testors Extreme Lacquer Flaming Orange.

I would use Tamiya Metallic Orange over gold or silver. I have a model painted over gold that is about dead on to that color. No photos. 

This is metallic orange over gray primer.

That's a very attractive color, and Plowboy's is very close, and looks great. Another alternative is to go here and buy a 1 oz. bottle of the actual paint (Chrysler Tangerine Pearl):

Strange as it seems but that color isn't listed by almost every maker of scratch paint. MCW doesn't make it.

The Tamiya color looks like a good choice over silver.

First one is go mango, second is flaming orange

Fyi.

Go mango isn't even close to that.

 

Flaming orange has a lot of big metallic in it.

 

This is flame orange

Go to the site I linked above, choose your vehicle as: 2003, then Chrysler, then PT Cruiser. Scroll down to Tangerine Pearl (code VE/AVE). They have it, it's a weirdly organized site. The first time, I just typed Tangerine Pearl into the search box at the top of the page.

How did I miss that the first three times I looked?

If I had a nickel for every time I said that...
