The paint is from House of Kolors, and it is pearl paint called Sunset Pearl Orange. It is an off the shelf color with Gold Ice Pearl in the clear coat.
Of course, I have to ask for pics!!!

I wish I could put a thread like this together, but unfortunately I was working at the show for the majority of the time...and only got away for a brief period of time to shoot my own car. Sorry. Maybe someone else will chime in with better news.

Thanks Shane, a few minutes ago I stumbled on Smart's gallery and it looks like he has most everything that was there.....including a GREEN that is identical to mine, but only in color. There is MUCH MUCH more done to it!!

I was thinking of doing my other Smart in an orange similar to yours but will most likely go with the orange metallic that is closer to what you see on most production cars from Cobalts to Honda Elements.

Can't wait to see an interior shot of your car.

Don't feel too bad, the exterior looks nice, but I don't like the interior at all!
