I am going down to the shop tomorrow to talk about what color I am painting my 'cuda. I want to paint it the same orange as the Bengal Chargers. The question of what color is correct has come up a couple of times here on Moparts. After searching through the archives, here is what I found: Some state Bengal Chargers were "Tiger Orange" with the PPG code 60326. Some state they were "Omaha Orange" with a PPG paint code of 60242. And some state they were "Omaha Orange" with a PPG paint code of 60436. Which is it?

I think you'd save yourself a lot of trouble to use EK2 Go Mango.
EK2 Go Mango/ Vitamin C.....is basicaly the same formulation for Hemi Orange without the metalliac agent/binder,......Omaha Orange, or Competition Orange as it's sometimes refered to is different........the PPG (original supplier to Chrysler) code for Omaha Orange is DRA60436,......you should be able to cross-link that number to another paint brand/manufacturer, depending on your choice of finish material

Ted,... while the Go-Mango/Vitamin Orange is very close in shade to the Omaha Orange, it dosen't quite have the same "flop" agent in the mix that Omaha Orange has, causing an almost orange-orangeyellow transformation in varing light

I'll defer to you on this one, although it would save him some trouble, no?

He could go with the Mango/Vitamin C, would be more "correct", but if he's looking for a slighlty different "hue", the Omaha Orange would be it, then again Dupont's line of Hot Hues has some really wild oranges, ......but I guess the lad has his mind set on Omaha

BTW - I am looking to put a "year correct" color on my '68.
So Sorry there!, I was under the impression you had a Cuda of the E body persausion!....my mistake
Erik,......the PPG DRA60436/60436 is the original manufaturers code as supplied to Chrysler in 68,.....I know most of the paint "codes"/mixes today are on computer, and being so, the manufacturers have eliminated, or substituted alternate mixes/shades,....that in some cases just aren't right,....or available in certain mix formulations like BC/CC,.....I went thru this with "Curious Yellow" for a customer who wanted it in Dupont ChromaBase BC/CC,...the mix they had, had no alternates, it was way too green, but if you have access to color hue carts, and an original sample you can perform a match, to be blended/mixed based on the hue code,.....this is when your trying to convert PPG, to another paint manufacturer,....what "paint" system are you planing on useing?, if it PPG, it should be no problem, if you've searched the code/mix, how many alternates available?
