I like the red/orange idea. How about maybe a deep red with orange pearl in it or vice versa? I could imagine that looking either awesome or hideous so you'd definitely have to get the shades of the two colors right.

well i'll wait to see when i drop it off at the painter but i'm leaning towards the cayanne with just a tint more orange in it..i figure i like both the original color and som so maybe a mix of the two(more towards cayanne) will do the job for me....i'm starting the prep to get it ready for paint now...after more then a year i finally made the opening on my vfn ss hood big enough for the grill to fit in..and since i dont like the black plastic grill i put a piece of aluminum mesh in as an insert to better blend with the polished stuff on my car....tomorrow i have a body guy coming out to fix a few small dings/a good sized dent on my rocker where i was forced over a curb...and to readjust my fenders and nose so the hood sits right on the front corners...sorry blabbering on here just so syked to finally have the outside of this car looking proper again like it should....i've put over 20 grand into this thing and it kinda sucks when it looks like a 2500 dollar car...lol
