Any orange birds?

I will be painting my GTA this winter along with replacing every door and t-top seal in the car. I don't mind red but I would love to see pics of some orange GTA's. The color I would love to use is called Atomic Orange. This is the color. I guess it's more copper than orange but this is what I want. I don't know if the color will go with the lines of the car.

Re: Any orange birds?

Why do people love this color so much? I have seen like 10 people in the past 4 months paint their car this color. (Various types) Cant go 10 minutes w/o seeing at least 1 painted like this.

This is my fear. The color goes well with round lines but I just can't see it on something like my GTA that has all kinds of square edges. Hope I see some pics.

quadgoat has that color or similar color on his firebird. I seen his firebird in person on the power tour this year and it looked freakin sweet.

Re: Any orange birds?

That Sunset Orange Effect was the color before the Atomic Orange. Another very popular GM color. I have put about 10 gallons of that color through my HVLP gun. I think thoes pictures may have changed my mind. The 91-92 is a little different body but it's pretty close. That does look sweet. Thank's for the pics.
