So what's the story with Orange? I've seen a Copperish Orange on some of the cars on Viper Trader. I'm new to Vipers, is Orange a factory paint option? Is the factory Orange a Candy color? Looks hot, some Black stripes to compliment the black wheels would put it over the top. BTW, Whose footsies are those?
No, that orange is not a factory option. Some people just have an orange fetish! LOL!! The closest color i guess is the copper head, but its nothing like the real orange in the pics.

That copperhead is gorgeous, I guess thats the color I was referring to. looks like a "Candy color." Do colors other than factory depreciate the value of these cars among diehard Viper enthusiasts? Will it depreciate the value in general? Now I'm not talking something like hot pink or anything stupid like that, just a color thats other than what's offered as a factory option. The reason that I ask is that I would like to have the car sprayed in a vibrant Candy from house of colors, something like a tangerine (like the copperhead but more Vibrant.) Possibly a red, not sure yet, Also, would adding stripes to a non striped car have the same effect? I'm getting the idea (based on what I'm reading here) that adding stripes to a non factory striped car or changing the color is sort of a no no. Am I wrong? I hope so, I dont want to hurt resale on the car. Thanks.

Being a custom painter, I would advise not to get a Kandy on a car that would be driven on a regular basis. Kandies are a very meticulous type of paint and are very difficult if not impossible to match if there were any chips that needed any repair. On the other hand, House of Kolor makes a wide variety of PBC's (pearl basecoats) and KBC's that mimic the look of a Kandy but don't have the headache to go along with it. Most paint jobbers carry the HOK line of paints. Go check out the color chart books in the sunlight and bring your sunglasses!

Thanks dude, excellent point indeed. With exception to obvious no-no's (colors like Hot pink or Camouflage) if resprayed in a hot color, does the car lose value?

Austin, the feet are cute (even though the one pair look like they belong on Barney Rubble) I dated a girl that had the type of feet that I guess foot fetishists found very desirable. She was a stripper and one of the regulars used to pay her and her sisters money to crush hard candy on the bar. Along with her 2 sisters, they would total about 300 a night in tips just for crushing candy. (that was according to her, probably sucked his ... nevermind) I dated another girl that used to date a guy that made her kick and stomp his balls in with her high heels.. HAHAHA!! Guys have some serious issues. Give me a hot 18 YO and I'm str8. As long as they don't reek like cheese, aren't any Bunions or aren't Sasquatch type Big Feet, I could care less how the tootsies look. This chick Sandy used to suck our toes. Those are cute feet though. Again I did it, I know this belongs in the "anything goes" section, sorry fellas..
