Hi guys.

I need a recommendation on a colour.

I need an orange colour, probably closer to Lone Oranger than Valencia. Probably a solid colour, and darker gloss rather than lighter.

Does anyone do a fluoro orange?

It's not for a Torana.

Am i making sense?

Tangerine off a LC/J?
Mandarin Red off a Kingswood or LH/X?

there is also a nice orange on the BF XR6s, and no, its not Blood orange

Ford Tango Orange - Darker orange than say Indy.
Would come up a treat with a good polish and clear coat.

Datto, what's the smallest you can mix.

I need a demo tin of Lone Oranger and Valencia., I have Vitamin C and 2 other random oranges that i don't have names for but a painter mate has given me.

$10 each and can mix for Saturday if you want to pick up
Then I'm on holidays for a week
But you can always still pick them up anyday without me being there
