| Volunteer automotive paint colors
Im hoping to paint my car up a little bit this summer and want to do a UT orange theme. Anyone have experience with coating cars and where is the best place to get Vol-ish orange paint?
Painting my calipers and other high heat pieces... |

| Try calling some local body shops.
I'm pretty sure you're not the first to ask.

| Calipers, hood vent, valve cover. Car is black with red brembos and accent colors, plan to change red to orange.
EDIT: Car is a Mitsubishi Evo 9 | |

| That would look hot, Sando.
Won't help, since it's an OEM color, but here's mine:  | |

Can't get the picture to work for some reason

| I don't know if you can get ahold of motorcycle OEM paints, but it's a nice color. It's way too flashy for a car, but perfect for calipers and accents. It has a ridiculous amount of gold flake.
I don't know what it's called. Kawi orange. Don't think they've used it for several years. | |

| Might take a look at Ford's competition orange.
It might be too dark though. | |

| Failing that, I think any powder coat shop could do your valve cover and fmic. | |
