So I take it that you're less than happy with the quality of that yellow paint job ? I like the '68-early '69 orange that showed up on Road Runners. Not brownish or reddish or yellowish. what I'd suggest is to look at color chips at the paint jobber you're buying the paint from. Take them outside in the sun as well as indoor lighting.

I'm in the same boat sort of. My '69 RR - purchased in '73 - has always been my hot rod. Originally Y2 yellow I'm now having it painted and while orange is definitely my color of choice, I'm not crazy about any of the factory oranges because they only "pop" in sunlight. I'm leaning towards something like this. These are probably House of Color Tri-coat with candy BUT I've found some nice base/clears in the Matrix lineup.

Thanks for the pics. First one is too dark and the second one is to metallic for me. Those cars do look good though. Tor Red always looks red to me, so it’s not my shade either. To be realistic, I’m looking for the color similar to my signature picture. I’m not sure what orange that was as it was 30 years ago and the car is long gone. Any other ideas on color orange? Pretty sure its this (Omaha Orange, 60436) No metallic in Omaha Orange
