Hemi Orange Alternative?

[revshag]

Hi guys,

I'm looking for an alternative paint for V2 Hemi Orange body paint for a Charger I'm building. Hemi Orange has a hint of metal flake in it, which I don't want. And I've read that there is a color difference between the engine paint and the body paint. Could anyone make some recommendations? I'm not opposed to mixing colors to get the right match.

Thanks,

Chris

Check out the local auto parts stores.

They have scads of detail paint colors like chassis black and argent silver and probably Hemi orange.

Don't be afraid to just find an orange that looks close either. The engine orange is a little redder than the body color.

The most accurate body color sample will be at the automotive paint store.

There is always some variation in shades, even if you are using magazine photos of restored cars, there are going to be differences from one to the next.

and if someone tells you it aint right ask them to prove it.
