I love that color! if my fb was worth a new paintjob, i would be torn between that and a lovely metallic navy.

IMHO, metallic orange just looks great with all the black trim our cars have.

Get the **** done so we can see the finish product,

Its nice how most of the **** was taken off to be painted correctly,So how hard did it hit yoru pocket and how much paint did you think it took?

Did you do the engine bay?

Im thinking I should get a gallon of paint so I can have some left over for touch ups..

I like that color even more than when I saw it your first post! I see you also painted the window surrounds. I'm thinking of painting those as well when I paint mine. Can't wait to see it reassembled. Get a move on!

Badass color, man. It reminds me a little of Audi's India Red, which is possibly the awesomest non-standard car color ever.

not sure on wheels yet, probably some aussie made wheels, like ROH or something like that!!

no pin striping at all, body is going to basically stay as you see it there.
