Chimaera in orange chameleon ?

[taylormj4]

Having my Chimaera resprayed as total lacquer failure.

At the moment it is starmist blue but thinking of going more crazy / modern.

Has anyone seen a Chimaera in the Chameleon orange, like this Sagaris:

Have seen a Chimaera in a standard orange colour and wasn't so keen.

Any other colour suggestions ?

I have a Chameleon Tuscan 2 if that helps to give you an idea of how it might look on a vert

Night fire Red?

Not my car (and not a Chim) but does this help?

Not heard of that one. Found this, which appears to be that colour:

Not as modern looking as the orange IMHO but thanks for the suggestion.

Is this the sort of colour, not mine just remember the car and googled it

IMHO the metallic oranges work best on cars with a few angles, like Sags and Lambo's. Chim, Griff and Tuscan are just too curvaceous. That said I like yellow on the Chim but prefer the solid to the metallic.

This is stunning in the flesh:

Dunno if this would work:

There is a beautiful chim abroad somewhere that belongs to a guy that hasn't been on here for a long time.

The lambo orange one, really outstanding!

Yes, know what you mean. This was my concern really and why I was hoping someone had already done it so I could see what it looked like ha ha. It may not work at all.

Now wondering if it would be safer to have it done as a wrap in case I don't like it !

Do like this. Is it a metallic and the black stripe is a wrap ?

[taylormj4]

How about this ?

What I am worried about is that it might come out more like this, which looks really flat.

Hmmm, this looks pretty unbelievable for a wrap

Going to follow this thread with interest. Have the same predicament with my Chim. Currently Starmist Green

No it's not a wrap, I painted it myself after cutting the roof in half. Another picture of my car on http://myfavouritephotos.com.

Still tempted with the orange.
My interior is blue / cream leather so not sure how that would look against it. Cream would be fine but not sure the blue carpets and dashtop would look right with the orange ?

The roof is also dark blue but that looks ok on Spike's Griffith.
