I am not an artist , like alot of you guys are , but I can mask with the best of them. I have painted with laquer in the past , but am new to the new products , candies, urathanes, and have been playing with the new line of Auto -air colors , specifically the Candies. There is a site http://www.customflamepainting.com/ that does some nice work. I would like to obtain a particular color specifically their reference no. 990, if anyone here can take the time to look at, which is called dark candy tangerine. I am not looking to steal any ideas or secrets from them, just looking for the color combination that they may have used to try and achieve that beautiful dark orange color. Thanks for any info or thoughts. I have started to play with different base coat, color topcoats with airbrush to see if I can get one close , just trying to save a little paint.

It's very hard to just go by 'pictures'. Your best bet is just to check out a candy chart at your local auto body paint supply store. This way, you get to see it in person.
