Does anyone know exactly what color this is? I want to use it on a Thermaltake Armor Full Tower (without fan, water cooled). I love this color, it looks awesome how it is, but when the sun hits it! WOW! Razzle Dazzle crazy cool! :up:

Thanks a bunch!

Hmmm, Actually one other thing if you want. You can always make a different color suggestion if you think you know of one that would be awesome for this particular case.

My photoshop calls it R: 254, G:109, B: 44. Hehe, doubt that's much help but who knows?

I haven't tried it, but I'm guessing you could probably get that effect by laying down a pearl base, and a burnt orange candy. Or just go with the burnt orange.

edit: I think it was tech daddy's mod (or TGS) of the boss fx and he used a color close to that one. Maybe try and PM him for the exact color.

That was tech-daddy, but I don't believe he has the color I am looking for. Nice mod anyways though! That is one admirable man! ^^

TGS did the super bee mod. One of my personal favorites!

Actually, I just had a great idea. I also feel dumb now as well. Anyways, this is a color that is almost all of the new fancy cars right? DUH! Just go the the car manufacturers webpage and TAH DAH! Instant access to EXACT color.

:dead: <---That would be me. If I find out what it is, I'll be sure to tell you guys. So you know that you don't have to help figure it out anymore and so you know what color it is just in case you are interested.

Pretty sure its called Hugger Orange (http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&aq=hugger%20orange%20camaro&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLJ,GGLJ:2006-05,GGLJ:en&q=hugger+orange+camaro&oe=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi).

I'm guessing its a metallic or pearlescent version of "Burnt Orange". I could find that color on multiple car dealership websites. But I'm going to search through House of Kolor's Pearlescent's and see if I can one I like.

Here is the closest I could find... although I don't want it because I don't have an airbrush or access to one at the moment. I'd just rather use spray paint... hmmm...

Looks like they have a few images of the kind I am wanting. But so does the one I listed... BAH! What a pain lol Maybe I'll just look at a completely different color.

Do they make cool colors in spray paints? That would be my tool of choice... especially since its cheaper. Maybe I'll go with a metallic orange... Maybe krylon or Rust-Oleum makes that?

I'm sure Krylon or Rust-Oleum makes a metallic orange paint.

Otherwise, check Dupli-Color.

Quick place to research car paint colors. They even had the original color for my '75 landcruiser...

If you take it to automotive paint deller and leave a sample of the color with them on the intent you may purcahse paint they will match it for you or mix some up.

Unfortunately "Hugger" Orange is pretty much a Chevy color. When it comes to Mopar there are a couple of oranges available. Hemi Orange and Gomango would be the names of the colors used in the 70's. The difference in the names would be a Plymouth vs Dodge thing, but I think they are actually the same color. Dodge later re-released the GoMANgo color for the newer model Charger and the Trucks, but it is a darker then the original and has metal flake in it. As for the pic... If it were a stock color I would have to say that it was the re-release of GoMANgo, but its not dark enough to be that. I did however track the maker of that particular diecast back to a company named Jada. They list the color as "Copper", here (http://jadatoys.com/products.php?&category=sing&p=search&d=1314) is the link to their product on the web.

I agree it would make a great color for a case.. no doubt!!

Hope this helps....
