I could tell you the nearest match to the orange gel coat colour of the tangerine dream pictured on the left, but there's too many orange cars out
there, I think you should go for a nice blue, or perhaps red? Oh oright then, it's a Fiat truck colour, Aranchio Ral 2011.

Sounds like an RM colour, go to this site and check out the colours (I like rainbow, I have seen it on a RS Turnip and it is fantastic, it changes
from vivid orange to green to blue to red to yellow as you walk around it, from a distance the car looks blue metallic but in bright sunlight, it
takes your breath away, TOTALLY STUNNING)

It is a three stager so take the tinter list to your local RM bodyshop, and get a litre of each costed (ground coat and colour coat), the ground and
colour coat are 1K, so its only the clearcoat is 2K, you could probably get away with a 1K clear if spraying at home, but it will start to break up in
sunlight after a couple of years
