Any Ontario Orange Fans?
Anyone have good pictures of Ontario Orange on anything other than a Corvette? I'm running up to get a small sample to do a spray out and hopefully get a better idea of the color in person.

I tried to post photos earlier and couldn't get the links to work...
Here are some original paint photos I took last year, some are VERY close - some outside some inside the NCRS national show... I wanted to get the color and metallic grain in detail. Go view and use the magnifier to zoom in - these are very good representations of the REAL color. https://photos.app.goo.gl/CA7PLSK5XdkUqMQ78

Interesting. Almost has a bronze appearance in some pictures, and a slight orange hue in other pictures.
Being original paint those photos are 50 year old lacquer? My hope is that going base/clear might give it more "pop" under the sunlight. I couldn't get my sample today so I'll have to wait for a spray out with base clear until next week. I'd like to compare those to what you have posted here. Much appreciated  Have a Merry Christmas!

Many, many years, I was driving alongside an Ontario Orange LT1 Corvette at sunset and there’s something about that particular color the just pops at that time of day. So much so that I have not forgotten it decades later!

That's what I'm trying to decide.
Makes it more difficult that I've never seen this color used on any other body style. I thought it might look good on an A-body with some black stripes, and a bit more chrome to help set it off.

I could never really decide if I liked the Ontario Orange on my dad's Vette.Somedays I'd look at it and think it looked not bad and other days not so much.I found that sunlight really changed the look of the paint.
