Default Is there a better orange (but similar to) SOM that I can paint my 2002 Z28 in?

I'm about to get a new paint job for my SOM Z28. I'm just trying to hear some options on what orange color that I should paint my car in. Thanks in advance for the opinions.

Atomic orange off the c6 if you want to stay close to SOM.

Or SOM with some candy might look good IMO.

Atomic is nice, but my Mom has an Atomic Orange Z06 that I'm buying off her when her lease is up. I can't have two Atomic Orange cars. I'll do some research on that Candy Tangerine. What car is that color on?

yea I think so, I know I saw it on here before it's real nice. I'll see if i can find it.

EDIT: Here it is https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...nge-not-2.html

Very similar to SOM with enough change to notice the difference.. I think it's ideal for what you are looking for.

I think that tangerine candy in your link looks nice. From the pictures, it looks very similar to Atomic Orange. If I didn't have an Atomic Orange Z06 in my future, then YES I would definitely have my car painted to that tangerine orange color.

I think what I'll end up doing is keeping my SOM color, but having it enhanced with a silver basecoat and two coats of SOM instead of one. I think this change will be mindblowing, yet subtle.

I'd do it in a Kandy Tangerine IMO. The brilliance and the depth of the candy is beautiful.

Anyone look into the orange color on the new ford raptors? Saw one in the sun the other day. Really looked fantastic!

Did you look at the Inferno Orange on the new Camaros. I have a friend with one and it looks nice in the sun!
