Can anyone think of a good shade of orange?
Dropped my car in the bodyshop yesterday to have the cage sprayed and decided to do it orange.
I don't want a mega bright orange I.e. Illuminous or day glo and I don't want a metallic colour either like ST orange.
The sprayer suggesting looking at some motorbike colours as I want something flat and bright still.
Anyone come across a suitable colour on their travels?
Cheers!

How about Calypso Coral, looked positively opulent on the Mach1's & Boss 302.

No probs, if you do go ahead just for your info i think it comes under a leyland colour rather than rover from the likes of halfrauds etc.
