Default Need some help w/ paint code

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.

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
