How nice would this 86 TA look in orange???

Hey people,

I was wondering if I supplied a color sample, say

http://www.pontiac.com/firebird/colors.html
(choose Sunset Orange Metallic)

and a sample 86 TA car (courtesy of nosaint - Your car is beautiful man), say

https://www.thirdgen.org/rides/rideimages/trans.jpg

could somebody plz paint me that car in sunset Orange from the Pontiac Website?
Also a pic of it orange with Gold Ground FX and Rims would be nice

I would really appreciate it if somebody could quickly do this for me and post the pictuers here. Thanks ver much

-Max

Yea, that sunset orange is a sweet color. There's a guy in my neiborhood that has a ws6 in that color. Awesome.

I think it would look pretty good a thirdgen.

Yea I know it wasn't the best pic for the color change, but since I have an 86 TA and yours wqas the best looking 86 TA I saw there, I decided to use that one, anyways, does anybody have any pics of a third-gen TA in sunset orange???

I don't believe the Rytek car is Sunset Orange Metallic. It is a custom gold color from what I have been told by people that have seen it in person. Sunset orange metallic is darker. I think it would look pretty damn good on a thirgen TA

i saw a Sunset orange TA at a local dealership on a cloudy day and it looked like a rust color. it still looked badass but it was strange. im doin my vette in PPG Orange (i forgot the code) with Hi-Lite orange pearl. it is the baddest assed orange i have seen. i love it. you oughtta go to a paint store and look at diffrent colors. i saw a couple oranges that looked too red and some that were too yellow etc. and make sure you look at the samples in the sun. if you dont you could get a completly wrong color.
