With these cars they could have a number of colors on them. With my car Troy found the original Canary Yellow under the headlight covers. It's an "excellent" place to find your factory color because most shops don't go into that type of detail. On Gint's tub he had to look inside an original door. It literally took "days" to get the color matches on both of these cars. The formula is mixed using the factory codes and then they apply and let it dry out. After it's dry the compare and make final adjustments to the color. It's applied and compared again... until it's right.

I'm convinced that what you see on Gints tub is Tangerine and what you see on Mr. Jim Chambers new 914-6 is definately Canary Yellow as it left the factory.

If you're going for "Orange" then Tangerine is a much more vibrant color. It's much more Orange than Signal. I like Signal because of the vintage race thing... a lot of GT's were Signal. It's much more pale and subdued. Back to the original topic... I think the thread starter may have been looking for a Signal GT? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Well, since we're on the subject..here's my Tangerine car. If I was going to repaint a 914 and wanted orange I believe I would go eith Nepal Orange however, I like it slightly better than my Tangerine. BTW, the thing that strikes me about Tangerine (when looking at it in person) is how much brown there is in it, it's a deep, brown-ish kind of orange.

Got it....but I do not buy it. I see orange and red(tangerine).

So does that mean you're flat out calling me a liar then? I'm telling you that the camera distorted those colors. When standing there looking at the tub, you couldn't see those variations.

Try this. Take 3-5 different digital cameras and take a picture with each of the same orange car (any orange car). If possible, wait until a cloud comes over and snap another shot with each camera. Then look at those different pictures on one PC/monitor combo. Tell me how many different colors of orange there *appears* to be. Then for fun, look at those 3-5 pics on 3-5 different PC/monitor combos.

it does look like a smoth transition....so i buy the digital camera story. How old is that pic ? (Digital cameras are exponentialy better every year!)

[Gint]

The picture is only a couple of years old. But the camera was an old Sony 1 MegaPixel Mavica MVC-FD81 (floppy model). It has always taken fantastic close up pics, but that particular one suprised even me when I finally loaded it up on the PC.

I'll add to the discussion. This is my Tangerine 'Teen. it does have quite a bit of red in it (in fact my wife insists on calling the car red whenever she wants to get me riled up.) The paint code is L21E. "Blutorange" or "Tangerine" I know it's not flared, but its a comin!
