Paint Color

[daveh]

Hey Guys,

I'm considering painting my 71 Challenger convertible that burnt orange I've seen on the new Challengers.  I was going to go with the sassy grass or bright yellow but every time I see that color on the street I love it.  The cars not all original and I don't mind painting it a different color, I would like it to be a little different.  I think it would look cool since it's a convertible and has lots of black accents.  The convertible top, shaker & spoiler would all be black and possibly a black side stripe.  I haven't decided on that one yet. 

What do you guys think?

Does anyone know the paint code for that color?

Thanks
Dave

I know the original color was Deep Burnt Orange Metallic and was coded FK5

That is a sweeet color!

One of my top colors for sure.

good choice!  I had my eye on the same color!  i was doing it with a black t/a hood and spoiler, and black wheels.  I think it will look sweet.  There are a couple different variations of this color that are all real similiar, but the one specifically on the new chally is called copperhead, code LB, i would also look into the 2005 Ram daytona GoMango, really similar!! code PVE  Good luck, cant wait to see it!

There's the Toxic Orange color name from a year or two ago.  I guess it is the same as the Mango Tango.

I saw the same truck today with the same color as moparman82  post.I still don,t like it on the orginal ebody car.The  high impact colors are the best for the older classics.
