Default Re: Need Help W/ Correct Chevy orange paint

In fact, I may be able to send you a sample and you can get it mixed locally to match. Send me your address to [email protected] and I will ship you some in a small bottle. I actually bought a standard color orange but had it special tinted with additional red and black to match the original Chevy orange. You will need to buy the hardner for the Onmi Urethane paint but it will result in a better, more durable paint.

The 2K Urethane Omni paint I used was P/N MTK 60914 Red with the addition of small amounts of base Red and Black to match the original Chevy Orange. The 60914 Red paint was close to the Original based on the color chip but looked too Orange when applied on top of the original Chevy Orange.
