So I just got the car back from the shop. Please ignore the dirty car as they had it for 24 hours.. I still have to swap the wheels to Velgen Gunmetal this weekend however please enjoy these pictures while you wait for the final completed look.

Looks great! That's pretty much the color I'd like on mine.

I tried to squeeze that information out of them for other members but he would not tell me. I even made bull **** excuses like touching up later if needed etc. I'll ask again and follow up if I get the information. Do you think it's a close match to the GS F Orange?

Looks like VHT Flame orange engine paint.Without seeing the 2 cars side by side, I'd say it's close to GSF orange.

Definitely a close match to the GS F OEM orange calipers - looks good...and will definitely stand out more when you get your Velgen wheels on there

Looks good mfaheem! Love the color! Can't wait to see the Velgens on your ride! I just did my calipers too yesterday using burnt copper! I'll post some pics in the other thread shortly.
