It's actually a brighter red with some gold flake in the clear... I was upset I thought it was orange too. Only in the light when it reflects the gold does it look orange ish. I have another pic ill post of the side looks less orange.

Looking forward to a c36 with color matched trim. I never really liked the chrome trim on 202s
Post more pics and like everyone said make sure they remove everything that can be removed.
Roof molding, side trim, door handles, hood and trunk badges, grille, headlight wipers, windows and all trim/gaskets....

Im paid almost $2k because I thought they would be professional and do it right. I know little about the painting process. Thanks for all the input guys.

Hey! Doesn't look orange anymore! LOL did they give it another spray? I can guess a lot of guys on the board do not approve of the flake, color combination or the painting process, but I wouldn't worry about it! It's super expensive to strip a car down to frame for a spray, so unless they are going to pay for it!!
Looking forward to see the finished product, do you have any interior or engine mods in mind? I haven't done any work to my engine yet and I shipped back my springs because they looked used or banged up at the least. So not much done to mine this year and winter is here but I'm stockpiling parts LOL.

I do plan on redoing my headliner trunk and changing my corner lights in front. Idk what else touch up the wood grain around the shifter.
Probably lower the rear more again.
Set goals and don't quit. Took me over a year to get started and saving planning and research

The red tomato is looking nice.
Are you happy with the paintjob from your buddy shop?
Previous pictures revieled some lazy shortcuts being done by NOT removing trims and lenses.
i notice your front bumper doesn't sit right.
why is there a gap around the front panels and wipers?
i also see the rubber seal going below front fender edge and upper bumper part where the gap is, this rubber seal was painted red, bodyshop failed to mask both rubber strips
