Looking for a Bright Orange Metallic paint - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bowtiefreak · 04-27-2004, 08:58 AM

Has anyone got any idea if there is a color out there that is a rather bright orange (like an Tangier) but has a metallic in it. I have went through a ton of color books at the local paint store but have came up empty handed.
Thanks for any help.

I used mandrin orange metalic on a jeep a few years ago, looked really sharp.

Do you know where the color came from (year,maker, etc.)

*Randy70C-10* · 04-27-2004, 09:26 AM

It's been about 10 years but I'm pretty sure that it was a Sunbelt color. You should be able to get it in Dupont also. I don't think it had a make and year, it was one of those basic colors, but I've seen a few of the older CJ-7's with the same color.

you could always get a custom color from house of kolors

Ford had ranger pick-ups painted in what they called Mandrin orange met. a few years ago.

Where can someone purchase House of Color paint?

Faster_than_you · 04-27-2004, 08:51 PM

houseofkolor.com then go to the link for distributors. ask a custom shop around if they can get the color in, that is if there are no close distributers around you.

How much would it cost me to do my 78 Seirra that color?

so cal tz · 04-29-2004, 12:22 PM

Bowtiefreak What you could do is go to tour local automotive (PPG distributor) paint store and ask if they can make a custom color for you. I use to work for paint shop and do alot of colormatches and custom colors. I did it for 14yrs, and it was fun as heck. The only thing is to take a sample of a color no matter what it is and they sould make it. Just ask for a formula so if you need more they can make it again when ever you need it . If you have any question's give a PM. " so cal tz "

boozel67 · 04-29-2004, 02:46 PM

the tangelo pearl is around 200.00 a gallon plus clear and base coat

Shamrock · 04-29-2004, 05:52 PM

so how much you think i would need, and a price?
