Hey all, so as some of you may have noticed, my wing and mirrors look more like pumpkins this year rather than a nice bright Dayglo orange.

Could someone find the paint code for a bright, BRIGHT, B-R-I-G-H-T orange? My web searches have proven fruitless so far.

Yeah, that's all I get too, is product #'s, not paint codes. I don't think a bodyshop would know those.

Last time, we said "Make it as bright as you can", and look, we have Cinderella's post-midnight coach...

Are you going to have the paint mixed at Home Depot and do it yourself? If so, all you need is a Pantone number. A lot of paintprograms for computers can give you pantone numbers for a certain shade.

If you go through an automotive paint shop I'm not sure what they use.

 

Maybe IM Rodney ... he can ask Yasu ... he uses that "Realtime Orange" color on his Civic.

 

yeah just go to lowe's and buy a rattle can of dayglo orange thats used for marking sidewalks

 

If you know a manufacturer with a good orange, try http://www.paintscratch.com
Type in the car, etc. and it gives the paint code

EDIT: Actually, once there, click search->by paint name->Orange->All makes and it gives a slew of orange paint codes.
The Ford and Chevy oranges look like your best bet
