Color Chart? Orange?

[Nochain]

Does SPI have a color chart for the Orange Base Coat?

I've gotten color chips for the black and white single stage, I bet they have an orange BC one.

Just call office and they will send you chips.

I just called they are sending me some chips! Just surprised no pictures of cars or chips online.

Do a little searching here. There are quite a few cars on the forum painted orange. Here is forum member JimKueneman's car and others for example.

SPI Orange Finally Photographed!

It took a professional photographer to finally get a shot of "As Orange as Barry Can Make It Orange" [AOABCMIO] (my trademark name for it when everyone asks what color is it) that does not saturate the camera sensor....... He was drawn to the car like a bug light at a show recently :)

@JimKueneman does great work, but, he's done doing restorations! Forever!

Thanks I know Jims car. I didn’t know that was SPI’s Orange. I am looking more for an Omaha Orange. Any suggestions?

Wait until you get the chips to decide. Pictures can be deceiving.

Right now I'm doing a car with spi red over white epoxy sealer. Beautiful color .

 

[Nochain]

I am trying to replicate this color

that will be the spi orange with some yellow added to it. if your looking for a specific color then its best to have it mixed in a typical basecoat line.

How does a guy like me get that done? Add yellow tint to SPI paint.

 

[Jim C]

you dont. spi i dont believe has a yellow or even the right one if they did. if you want a specific color then just have it mixed in a regular paint line

I did a 66 Barracuda about 10 years ago in that color. It's not as yellow in real life as the picture you posted. Can't remember if it was Omaha orange or Orange Crush. One is lighter than the other. I used the late model Chrysler color. Like I said I can't remember which one.

Looked up the paint codes. Omaha is P62 (Chrysler) Crush is PL4 (Chrysler). Go to a Jobber and look at the chips.

Thinking about it, I think this was Crush which is PL4. Crush is the yellower of the two.

Here is a pic of the car so you can get an idea of the color. Outside it was more yellow and less red.

No surprise!
If 20 people here took a picture of Jim's car and posted it, it would look like 20 different oranges were used.

Ron call @Chad.S and have him get you MotoBase in that color. He will send you a sample for a small fee so you can be sure. They SPI Universal Clear over it.

Pictures? Jim did his over grey primer and I just exchanged my SPI grey for their white epoxy primer. I am wondering if that would lighted or brighten up the color a little????

 

[elwood]

I don't know if pictures would really do it justice. It's bright outside.

That orange does not photograph it full brilliance
