Orbit Orange
Does anyone have or know of a good halfway modern orbit paint formula? I've tried 8 times to get the color right and I'm just not satisfied with what I'm getting. I've read everything I can find and most of the older posts are on ppg paint and they no longer have the toners.
Dupont was able to mix me what they show for the code, but it seems a little yellow to me. The wing is painted in the Dupont. |

To me it looks more yellow. Moreso even to the pic you posted.
Although as far as I know the paint on the bottom of the trunklid is original, and it doesn't look as orange as the pic you posted either. |

I probably wouldn't trust that the color on the document is 100% accurate as it looks like the document has become discolored/darkened since it was new.

That's possible. Seems like most i see look a bit more orange than what I come up with here.

Yeah that's the color that is on the wing and the closest so far. Well it's not nason, but it's Dupont Chromabase. Probably what I will be going with.
