to this colour.

Does anyone know the specific paint code for it?

think it's called arancia pearl metallic

this might help

looking at it again would you say it's metallic or solid, there are quite a few shades of orange

metallic is - arancio borealis
solid is - arancio ymir

thanks Coupedave

I did a quick photo edit


Would you say that more or less looks like the Lambo orange shades?

more or less, looks blummin' gorgeous!! then again I'm biased as I'm in an orange stage myself at the moment too!!

orange is very very nice your going to get noticed in a orange coupe!

You might want to check out This Movie by Radicz and search for any number of pictures. (there's a particularly nice on with a blonde lady driver IIRC)

I'd love to get a spare Coupe and have it sprayed orange, but to be honest, I don't think a metallic orange colour would suit the Coupe.

It would have to be a flat/solid orange imo

Those of us who went to SpaItalia 2009 will confirm the Lambo orange is a very good looking colour on the Coupe.

Does anyone have any pictures?

There are quite a lot of different oranges shades it seems:























It seems that you have Orange and then really orange Orange.

Hmm, an orange LE!

Yum!

Anyway JKD, I thought Porto was the best colour in the world, ever? Thats the impression I've got from your previous posts!

If you do get this done, it will look damn fine for sure!

Porto is indeed the best standard colour.

Orange could turn out to be the best non standard colour.

I want to make the Coupe look more exotic and I think that with a Cada or PIU front bumper and black alloys it would work.

It looked good, but id stick with a original colour for myself tho.

I might have a picture, ill take a look in my Spa folder when i get home. I thought it was a French member JKD, so you might try the french forum?

Here's the coop from Spa:

very nice (apart from the grill) :-)

"Porto is indeed the best standard colour.

Orange could turn out to be the best non standard colour."

I concur...both with dark alloys & side repeaters of course.
If non-standard colours are a concern, may be a compromise could be to use the Fiat Barchetta orange paint? That's the direction I'm heading in, once the porto becomes too scruffy.

That orange Fiat Coupe is nice indeed. But, its not orange enough!

I think this is the shade of orange I want- its a really deep solid shade.

Here is the look I am going for (but with standard alloys in black).



Thank you Sparkyman for the photo.

It'll look very nice JKD

Would love to see it, if you go ahead and get it done

JKD you will have to watch the lowering with the cada.

Just been to my garage i use for a pre mot check this morning and can't get it in, I have standard shocks with eibachs on front and fk springs on rear, which I fitted about a month ago, after that picture was taken.

Sure cowboy has a cada but he runs bilsteins and standard springs, I'm pretty sure.

Imo, that would look different but very nice, would like to see it in the flesh, seen an orange one before in Glasgow but it had a bonnet scoop

Asbo Orange from the Focus ST?

I like to think of it as Lambo Orange from the Lamborghini.

LOL I'm doing my engine bay asbo orange from the Focus ST but prefer the "Electric orange" name!

I'm just a bit unsure about the finer details- the front badge, the Pininfarina side badges and the petrol cap.

Do you think if I did these items black, like the alloys (which are definitely going to be black) they would look ok?

Orange+black = to much contrast , athracite would be nicer.
I love that BMW , it looks different in orange

As colour is down to personal taste, I'll be the first to say:

sorry to say it's yukky horrible!

Am I the only one? lol
