Upcoming build

I will eventually be starting an Audi R8. I have a specific color that I would like to paint it and I know Ive seen a couple people use it, or something similar.

I believe it is called Atomic Orange Metallic. Ive mostly seen it on the Corvette.

Do I have to get real car paint for this color? Or is there a match someone may know about?

I would say you'd probably have to get the real car paint. I use DupliColor touch up cans almost all the time, along with their primers and clearcoats, and I have had no problems with them at all. By the way, I'm not sure if the Atomic Orange Metallic is a Corvette specific name for that paint, but I have also seen it called Sunburst Orange, a friend of mine had a 2000 or 2001 Chevy Cavalier in that color, and the Sunburst Orange on it looks very similar to the Vette in the picture.

I've seen a few models here that used Testors Fiery Orange which looks similar but I'm just going by photos of models to your photo.

This is Tamiya Clear Orange lacquer over Model Masters Dark Bronze lacquer. It's pretty close to Sunburst Orange.
