I think that's starting to drift too much into the orange spectrum, a color that went away in the early 70's (a place it should stay IMO).
However, if you have the means, see if you can find a color called "coral red." It's absolutely awesome!

SOM sucks, it looks good in the sun, but terrible in lower light conditions....
i have many test panels with different candy oranges Jeff. They all look nice, but im scared to go with such a bright color. We'll see, car should be done this winter

tangerine and black... some how
that would look hot
i love the kandy red but both are hot colors... just needs to match the overall theme of the car, from suspension components to under the hood and the interior

that vette color looks identical to their older version. the gto looks a bit to dirty in person. i like the properties that a candy color brings personally. still both nice colors though.

I worked on a cavalier today that was about that color. It was a cool color...but at certain angle..it really didn't look to appealing. I like the Lazer Blue that come out on the Chevy Equinox, there is tons of pearl in that paint. It would be cool like to see that color on a third gen.
Anyhow, I think the color of your 91 really tops it off. I guess I couldn't picture it any other color. A photoshop would help

I was sooo close to painting my car oh so orange by ppg, but i didnt like how hard it flopped green, after seeing that picture i wish i would have stuck with it, cuz thats hot, but i went with another PPG Vibrance color because I figured it would be less common.
