Signal Orange is the Ford colour.. its BRIGHT!

[schneill]

Get the orange that they spray dyno-rod vans in, thats pretty bright.

The retro VW colour is code lp2b - nice and bright. Was going to do one of mine this colour until anouther turned up in the village already done in it (I wanted to be the only orange in the village!).


There is also Fiat orange on the latest Grande Punto Sporting that I really like the look of - similar to the Focus orange but just different enough not to be the same as the rest of the crowd using the Ford ST colour.

Change the 'version' to one of the Sporting 3 dr range
Change colour to 'Caribbean Orange'

(oh i like the vermillion red by the way

VW Code LP2B is solid.

Fiat colour - god only knows, but as it is on a new, sporty model car I would expect metallic if not pearlescent or even fancier.

[B-shaw]

The fiat one looks solid to me. But i thought the ST one was at 1st lol!

I'm thinking of getting the ST colour but solid instead of metallic, just to be a little different.

ST orange is pearl or mica and very expensive

not that dear - 22.50 a litre in standox B&L - just bought Ford RS blue with mica pearl mix - looks lush especially when the lacquer goes on.
used less than 1/2 a litre doing both sides of bonnet - 3 coats over white primer - I'd guess at 2 litres for the full car. You only do it once ( in theory ) so use some good quality paint.

[Retro_10s]

Lol that is a terrible photoshop, no where near electric orange. but then it is a difficult colour to photshop.

[benmini]

My Mini is orange Its proper name is vermillion red i think. Pic below
