Thanks for posting those! Think hemi orange would look nuts on a black car? I thought it might give it the retro look, while painting it BB would look pretty modern.

What do you think would look good on a white R/T? I think the orange would.

The would look good in both the black and white cars. I'm still thinking of going with plum crazy for my black car but I've been indecisive.

I agree. I think the Hemi orange on the black would look incredible but I am partial to the orange anyway! Still I would not hesitate to do orange if I had a black car.

The part number for the Hemi orange spray is 5163227AA. I ordered the clear coat from the dealer as well part #4443632, but I think any automotive clear coat would be fine.

I bought the paint through my parts guy at the dealership. $10 a can. I used 2 cans of orange and one can of clear. I bought regular automotive primer from the local hardware store. I did not bother with high heat primer but I know some guys did. Did 4 coats of primer.

OK Everyone, finally after 3 LONGGGGG weeks in the body shop after the damn deer damage, I have her back home. And here are the pics from the job they did on the engine cover. I have BB body and wanted the same under the hood. They used the same paint as they put on the body, then I applied the lettering and then they clear coated it. I think it ended up being perfect.

What does everyone else think?
