Help me pick the Orange Color I want....
« on: July 30, 2007 - 11:00:51 AM »
I'm really confused between  1970 colors Vit C, Tor Red, or the one I just saw ORANGE (999 special order). Can someone direct me to a pic of a complete car in these colors, especially the ORANGE.

Thanks, George in Tallahassee

It is very difficult to see the differences in colors via pictures. Lighting, sunlight, camera and your computer will all give you different shades of the same color.  I suggest that you go down to the paint shop and pull the two color chips, and look at them side-by-side.  Look at them with indoor light, then take them out into the sun and look at them.

If I got a vote on which color to paint your car, my vote would be for TorRed.  :2thumbs:

1970 special order code 999, ORANGE, its on the PPG DODGE CHART and I'm getting some mixed up today! Its lighter than Tor/Hemi, but not as yellow as Vitamin C. Just what I wanted......

Tor red and Hemi orange are the same,  mango and vitamin c are the same. Be careful with photos as mango and hemi orange can look the same

The 999 paint code is referred to as Omaha Orange.  Hemi Orange and Tor-Red are the same, as are Go Mango and Vitamin C, as was pointed out earlier.

I bought 2 quarts today of the "OMAHA" ORANGE. THe PPG page only had it labeled as Orange, but Omaha adds some intrigue. I'm happy with it as far as the top of the can lid.......but as we all know, its too late now! Of course this is only for the engine bay and jambs.
