I'm heading into the paint shop and in the past 15yrs the car has been signal orange (L20E) - which is a bit lighter than I'd like and is often confused by people as "yellow".

I'm thinking of Tangerine (L21E) as an alternative but I don't want it to start to look red.

I'll post more pics tonight after I remove the headlight buckets, remaining fresh air stuff, and wiper assembly.

I won't be painting the cockpit, engine bay, or wheel wells because I don't want to drop the engine and remove all the engine bay stuff and I like the cockpit and wheelwells POR-15 black like they are now. After all, the cockpit is all covered by interior and the wheel wells get crusty dirty anway. If I swap engines in the future I'll sort out the bay then.

Can folks send me or post pics of their shade of orange and identify which paint code it is?


Thanks in advance,
