I'm seriously consider a complete colour change from the current Silver to Orange on my M12.

Ive seen the Chrome Orange that Lotus use on their range and I think it would really suit the shape of the car, also having seen Matt at Jetstream's one in the slightly lighter (less Tango) Lamborghini arancio orange colour .......im certainly sold on the a Orange colour.

Does anyone on here know the what the Orange is on the M600? I am very much of the opinion that I should try and keep the car as stock as possible - even if it's using the current line up's colour code.

Ive sorted pretty much everything on the car in the last 2 years to as new "stock" factory condition pretty much, including brand new interior courtesy of Martyn Trimman.
Do you think a good quality spray finish in an M600 colour will adverse value in anyway or is it more likely to be viewed as an appealing update?

Cheers

Nick

I've owned both cars you mention, the Orancio Orange is much nicer in the sun. It's got a nice pearlesant change to it. I think it's 3 coats though

Chrome Orange is more flat but still looks fantastic

Great shots - both look stunning shades, thanks Justin.

Bondy when you say Deanos is GT3 orange, do you think it's Chrome Orange as in the Lotus colour? Ive seen various pics of Deanos car and it looks terrific.

I wasnt aware there was another orange one out there - you say Mark? I just thought it was Deano and Matt Walton?

Do you think the M600 is a special mix orange or been nabbed from Lambo, Lotus or someone else? Im keen to get a paint code for the M600 version you see.....

I think Deanos is a flat orange.

To be honest there are 4 orange ones that I know of. The ones u mention and another GTO3 that was up or sale a while ago saying it was M400 spec.

Wrapping or dipping a not an option as I just feel its money wasted on a temporary solution.
I want a premium job in a restorative sense.

Hello all, indeed mine is Lamborghini Arancio. The M600 is Ford orange, same as the Focus ST orange.

The orange and black combo looks great, I've always liked the black light surrounds that Deano has done. Looks smart!

Wow indeed Ollie, your car looks superb.

Out of interest which Orange did you go for? Also (if not too cheeky...what did it cost roughly to get painted......you can PM me if you'd rather keep that info private off the Forum).

Matt - Thanks for confirming your one's the Lambo variant.....I thought you had said that the last time I was down.

Thats interesting that Noble have used the Ford ST Orange for the M600 lineup. Thanks for the heads-up.

Why not consider a yellow. Not many of them?
