My guess is it's House of Kolor and they look gooood. I used a red of theirs on my Nova and people always wonder how I got it to look like that. It's a beautiful color, especially in the sunlight. The only negative thing is it's not an everyday paint and when I go to the store I have to park it far, far away from all cars. Even then I worry that when I get back to the car, it's going to get a key job all the way down the side. Cecil.......

I love the color! What year is it for? And jimmy I hate those people who damage other's things. NO respect from them at all.

It is a color that I made up from PPG radiance 2 colors. I quess i'll have to enter it in the It ran when I parked it contest because i'm going to be to afraid to drive it
Big B It is for my 46 chevy 4x4 that I am building

Smorange, Blorange, Glorange...they all rhyme with orange. Too bad nuttin else does.

That there color is REALLY nice! I'm a sucker for orange cars...and just about anything else orange seems to catch my eye.

I'm really lookin forward to seein your finished product. I bet it's gonna be one real sweetheart.

Since we sold our orange 67 Camaro, I'm thinkin about this primer-gray 63 Nova that I've got...It ain't too late to re-think some things and turn it into a Creamsicle.

I was originally gonna paint it yellow, since whe had the orange Camaro. But then we bought another 67 Camaro (a yellow RS/SS) and sold the orange one. And I don't want to yellow cars. Although my torch red El Camino is almost exactly the same red as my wife's 04 Blazer. Hmmm...May have to repaint the Elky purple or something.

Hell...if I could just stay outta the hospital and get well long enough, maybe I could actually get summa these things done. I just spent a lovely coupla days havin yet another angiogram. They found a new, up til then undetected diseased artery. But the technology to clean that one out isn't available in the US. I spose I could go to Denmark or Holland....but it's more convenient to keep takin Nitro. That way I can say I'm runnin a "fuelie."

Thanks ChevyAsylum
I'm a sucker for orange also as you can tell. Hope you get well soon as by the looks of your pictures on your web site you like to keep yourself busy also

NOTHING rhymes with orange ... and NOTHING matches that color! WOW.

It's just beautiful, man. I want to see the finished deal!

"Door hinge"

Say it fast and it almost rhymes.

The color is sweet!

I agree. Great color! Mine is "Gulf Oil" orange and I can't wait to change it.

Thanks everyone
Keahi, Had to laugh at yuor door hinge rhyme

Sublime....That color ROCKS!!! Care to share with us what PPG radiance colors you blended and what ratio? I have a freind that has been looking for the perfect orange for his Harley and I think you did it!!

Thanks 65GMC1002
I will email you with the colors

That color is OFF THE HOOK!! I love it. As far as a rhyming word, I found the following:

Dan Warner, of Fraser, Mich., writes, “Can you supply me with a word that rhymes with ‘orange’?”

To answer your question, I got in touch with Hilary B. Price. As the cartoonist who draws the strip “Rhymes With Orange,” she may be the world’s expert on this subject. Price told me, “Marilyn vos Savant, who writes ‘Ask Marilyn’ for Parade magazine, claims there is a word ‘sporange.’ But the word is not in my dictionary.”

“Sporange” isn’t in most dictionaries. It does appear in Webster’s Third Unabridged and in the enormous Oxford English Dictionary, both of which say it’s a variant of “sporangium,” a botanical term. Webster’s Third gives two pronunciations for “sporange”: the one you’d expect and “spuh-randj,” with the accent on the second syllable. “Spuh-randj” is the only pronunciation given in Oxford. So although “sporange” looks as if it rhymes with “orange,” whether it really does is debatable.

There is a hill in Wales called the Blorenge—but that’s a proper name, not an ordinary word. Hilary Price told me she didn’t know of any single rhyming word, either. “As far as I’m concerned,” she said, “the closest rhyme is ‘door hinge.’”

Thanks for the informative read. Well the firewall and door jams are now painted and I am just waiting for the tow truck to take the frame to the shop. Will mount the cab and finish of the engine work and hook up the air conditioning. I will try to post some more pictures tonight.
