Default Orange Lexus thoughts?

What do you guys think about this color on an F? This is 3M 1080 Series Gloss Burnt Orange Viny on a GSF Sema car this year.

i'm a fan of orange... i'd prefer it to be a bit darker with some metallic flecks in it...

i was thinking about wrapping my Spyder in this color... would love that GSF in my garage...

my unicorn is an NSX in Imola Orange...

I would never want a car that is flashy like this. Just not my style but I love to look at them. Just wouldn't own one.

I like this color though. Would be very different

Just cleared my orange gt7's, they were a silvery- salmon before, they are powdercoated illusion orange from prismaticpowders.com you can do the illusion colors without the top coat, I used crystal clear spray paint and got the same effect!

Right it's not for a daily driver for sure. Thinking about a wrap which is what the above car has.

Protect my paint and get a different look.

I really dig the color.

Is the procedure for keeping a wrapped finish glossy the same as for a painted finish?

No bull on the hood means no orange in my book. Very few sports cars can pull it off. And even fewer sedans imho
