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!

I had a GM poster of an Ontario Orange Corvette on the garage wall for years. Your Dad's LT-1 is THE car I dreamed of, even while driving my '68 427. Years ago I painted a few motorcycles and one of my personal favorites was a mildly chopped Triumph. It was Ontario Orange with Metallic Gold and Candy Root Beer accents. (Sorry, no pics.) As for 'Love it or Leave it', ..... I've always loved it.
