I have no idea about the code, but maybe it was Hemi orange, or Vitamin C orange. I'm not too sure, but I hope this helps.

my dad is a painter, he has all the paint books, he is also a busy man. if i could give him a paint code and have him order the paint, very easy. if i have to look at the books, you guys have any idea how many oranges there are. the paint guys are good, but just a project i was hoping for a little help with(got a ton of it!) thanks guys!

and for tom and chris...you know they say that the faster you go over a bump, the less you feel it. last time i checked my truck went fast, and now is going to go faster. i feel nothing!

only time will tell. so far 4 people know
