Ooo ooo - I know - it's Orange !!! Or, if you're artistically inclined you could call it Apricot...

😉

Pretty sure it'd be a custom mix....looks VERY close to Pantone 172 C... http://www.boyantonprinting.com/pantoneswatchbook.pdf
(I deal with print and photo colours rather than paint colours, but Pantone is pretty universal)

Hi paulc1964au, yeah thats the colour i want to paint my car, i've wanted to do a beetle in that colour for a very long time and now the time has come.

I taking the colour to a painter but because its a picture only it was very hard for them to match.
