Dark burnt oringe mettalic

[dazza]

Hi, the colour of my challenger that im restoring is dark burnt orange mettalic and i was hopeing to see some photos of a challenger restored in this colour as my paint is faded. . 

Is it possible to order a small tin of paint as a sample?

Here's a few. I've actually been debating on painting my Chall R/T this color. I think It'll look bad @ss with a black vinyl top and the side stipes
(just the route I may head)   It would be cool to match my fathers original 67, and also his 69 6 pak that he has now
  Anyhoo I hope they help ya   best of luck

Thank you both for your reply. R/T hedkace your dads cars are very cool. What colour was your r/t? is it the one in the photos?

Alaskan TA thanks for the links to them photos. Its a hard colour to see the details of. ive been to a lot of mopar shows here in Australia and I have not seen one car in that colour its rare here. If any other people has some photos please send them in. Thanks.

glad the pics helped out.   Do you have any pics of your car? I"d love to see it.
Yea, my R/T was originally Plum Crazy. I'm not going back to that. I'v got a few colors in mind, and DBOM is definitely on of them.
 Heres a few more pics.

Burnt Orange is an awesome colour.  Looks great with black.

Thanks heaps R/T hedkace. i'll put some pics of my car up soon its not much to look at as it is in the process of a full resto.

I heard that the nick name for DBOM is COME CATCH ME COPPER any insight?

[R/T hedkace]

 Sorry i've got no insight for ya on that

Each person has to have the color of their car to please them........  but that being said, I would think twice before I would change from Crazy Plum Purple to a burnt orange.      The impact color cars are more marketable as they command better money.     In addition, there is something to be said for going back to the original color of a car.    They tend to bring more money if they the original color, especially if one of those colors are the more desirable impact colors.    In your case the Crazy Plum is one of the most sought after and marketable colors of all the cars.    Nothing wrong with burnt orange by no means, but just something to consider.

I appreciate your input, and I have thought about your point quite often in the past. I love the Plum Crazy infact, but I just do not want to go that route. I have 3 colors in mind that I'm debating.
 As for being more marketable, and a more increased monetary value, I agree 100%, but the simple fact that I'm going to be buried in this R/T lends little value to color ......    To each his/her own       Thanks goman

R/T hedkace love the pics. Has made me all enthused. I have some pics of my challenger as you can see its a bare sheel. It rolled in as a complete car one year ago. Every thing has been baged and labeled heaps of photos and video so i dont forget. Still a lot of work to be done and $$$$$.

[dazza]

sorry forgot to make photos smaller. R/T hedkace if you dont want to ever sell your car go with your dreams make it what you want.

 I couldn't agree more. 
 My concern does not lie with the next owner, because there will not be one
 Also, thanks for the pics man, always good to someone in the same boat as ya 
 Looks like you have one he!! of a cool workspace. Keep the progress pics coming, no matter how " little the progress"  may seem.
