I have chosen the lambo orange pearl to paint the baja it is not a cheap paint but i think it will look gr8 will prob put a bit more pearl in than the lambos .

yep orange is good👍
just remember its a baja, if you put a nice paint job on it you wont like taking it through bush tracks etc

Don't be so sure!
It just means you cringe more when you hear the scraping and scratching noises

Why not go all out and paint in Aussy camoflage?
Then you can go stealth mode in the bush!!
Dont forget to paint a big yellow circle under the pan for when you roll it in the scrub so the rescue chopper can find you. 😂
(Ok I'm bored at work)
Any bright colour looks good on a baja, orange and yellow always good.

thats the lambo orange u r talking about and in the background is the lambo green from the same fold on my old baja!!!!
if you use a scratch resistance clear it will hold up very well, i did mine in PPG cerami clear and many times it had stuff drag down the side and very very little if any damage was done, no white scrap marks ever, a few chips but u can never stop them.. when i sold it it still looked good, just as smily he saw it just before it left and it had a few years of abuse
like this :o)
steff...............

You can also tint your primer so that scratches aren't so obvious🤘

I can definitely vouch for Steff's paintjob. It certainly did not look a few years old when I saw it. And has held up quite well given the way that someone treated that car 😂

I got 2 tins of that Lambo pearl orange in the shed to paint mine, except now every 2nd bug is getting painted that colour 😂.
