Hemi Orange • The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Hi
I am trying to find a paint supplier of Hemi Orange colour. But of course I have a problem - in Poland paint shops, without RAL code or ICL code, can not find or mixed proper colour ingredients.
Codes from Dave's web pages are not sufficient.
Do you have any recipe for Hemi Orange or RAL or ....?

Hi Jarek.
I´m going to repaint my Challenger in the next months. I´m also thinking about EV2 Hemi Orange. I found two suppliers in Germany. I didn´t call them by phone yet but on their websites I found the information how to mix the color. The language is German but I think an English version is also available. Check it out:

Good choice Stefan cause if I remember right I've seen your car is also some kind of purple. And as far as I know I have the only plum e-body around here. Let's keep it like that

Yes Hans, it is a purple color, but not FC7 of course. There is another 73 Challenger in that color around here in Germany. It was for sale some weeks ago. But I only saw it on photos.

It´s really hard to deceide what color is the right one. Plum Crazy is very nice. I thought about it. But I also like Top Banana or Hemi Orange. Even B5 blue is quite nice I think... So it´s difficult. But I think it´s going to be Hemi Orange. I´d also like to add the strobe stripes on both sides. Where did you get yours?

Hi,
I "attacked" DuPont, as a supplier of this colour to Chrysler factories and they sent me a recipe for Hemi Orange.
I have bought a small sample and made a test - this is very nice colour. I also was really surprised that Hemi Orange is a metallic paint!!!
For your informatoion – specification:

I thank you for posting that. It will make getting my car painted a lot easier. Not that I can afford to get it painted. Spending too much money making it go faster!

Got my strobe stripes from YO Stefan, looks good and a good quality also according to the pro who put it on the car.
