guys,
I finally picked up my 87 IROC from the paintshop on friday at 1pm and spent the next 20 hours putting her back together to go to an autocross on Saturday morning at turner field. I managed to beat some subarus as well, so it was a good day. The color is 2007 Corvette Atomic Orange Metallic with flat black accents (matte). It is also the color chosen for the 2007 Indy 500 pacecar and rumored to be a color for the 2009 camaro. Hope you like it as much as I do! As far as what's next. I have a set of headers and camber plates to go on her and then it's test and tune until Topeka. hope to meet many of you there as it will be my first time..

I feel I have to comment, but just because I like the older version of orange better. I think it was on the C6's up to 06.
Good work! |

I like it, I must say though everytime I see a 3rd gen in any flavor of orange I immediatly think of super troopers and farva if any of you guys know what I'm talking about (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I like the general category I'll call "metallic burnt orange" including sunset orange metallic, atomic orange metallic, and probably several others. I think it goes particularly well with black trim too. Looks pretty sharp to me (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif)
