WEll it looks like the car will be painted at the end of the month! graemlins/thumbsup.gif
It's been a long road to get there, but I think it's going to awesome when it's finished. Here's a couple of pic's of the orange that I picked. It's only the inner door and engine, but you'll get the idea!!!

IMHO Chevelles and Elkies are one of the few cars that look awesome in orange. I had my 68 elco painted PPG Toner Orange. It looks like a dead-on match to the color you chose. Definitely an attention getter

Actually the color is a 2001 Lamborghini orange. It's a base/clear but has to be painted over a white sealer. It does have a lot of pearl in it.
It looks like I'm two weeks out from getting it back.

The paint from the factory has the pearl in it. Like I had said it has to be put over a white sealer to get the "effect" The painter said the color covers very well. It should only take two to three coats.
The car will be painted assembled to gaurantee the color match throughout. So hopefully I'll never have to spot it in graemlins/clonk.gif
