I'd call that tic-tac orange (those r my fav's). Car looks sweet.

Would you mind showing a hood up pic? I thought about mine getting painted another color eventually, and never really seen a pewter go to another color.

And also how much was the paint job?

ok eeryone, the car is just a gloss orange. no is no pearl. As far as the coverage all the jams are painted. the doors, rocker panels, and all the seals and heat extrators were removed. the hood, trunk, and mirriors were removed and painted. the body shop didnt want to remover the engine. however the parts they couldnt spay we went in and covered it with flat black. if you really look down in the engine bay you can see some pewter. i also had 6 hours of body work done and had to replace the licence plate cover. the whole thing cost me $3100.19. ill send you pics
