Any chance you could find a sunset orange metallic by GM, applied to corvettes, firebirds, camaro's...Quote:

I agree with everyone else, if you are going to repaint it, do it something custom rather than a stock color. If you really want a Proton, I think it would be better to track down an original than repaint an old Astral. An original would be worth more than one thats been repainted, especially a '99 repainted into a '00-'01 color.
Bob Barker, this sounds like what you are looking for. Seems there are quite a few orange VX's out there already.

I really like the blue that Moew Mix photoshopped, as well as the JDM red they came in, so those are my votes.
I saw that truck the other day, but I'm not positive if it's the right orange, and I think it's closer to a copper, either way it looks pretty damn good to me.
I think you should do it ... & then trade seats with me:)Quote:

At one of the last Atlanta Auto Exhibitions where Isuzu still had a booth, the exhibited two Axiom concepts - one was a convertible in yellow and the other was a sport model in red - both used a special reflective paint - the rep said that it contained crushed glass. The effect was similar to a metallic, only the colors were bright instead of having that silver sheen. I think if you're doing a custom job it should be a custom color (agreeing with those who have already posted) like red and if you can pull off an effect like those Axioms it would be particularly special. Just my 2 cents.

I like the red Idea, Just seem as if everyone wants to hold onto their Proton's. Ha ha get it. Anyhow Well have to see
after seeing meowmix's shops... i vote the kelly green for sure!
I totally agree with the others that the color should be something that was not available on any of the USA models. My #1 color pick would be the 2006 MINI COOPER color of "PURPLE HAZE". It is a dark purple metallic with pearl that is absolutely gorgeous in bright sunshine.
I'm confident once you see this color in person on a MINI Cooper, it will be the color you choose. As a darker mica color, the "PURPLE HAZE" color would fit along the same production VX lines as a Dragon Mica or FoxFire Mica and would look totally OEM factory as an optional color by Isuzu.
Don't go with a loud color that is too obnoxious like a Kawasaki Green or Lamborghini Orange, as it just wouldn't look OEM factory and would likely limit marketability in trying to sell the VX to a wider market. The "PURPLE HAZE" color is refined and elegant with class, while being totally different from everyday common colors.
:bgwb:
BTW-- My #2 color choice would be the Cadillac "CHAMPAGNE" metallic (aka Gold Mist Metallic) color found on the new Escalade. The Cadillac Escalade "CHAMPAGNE" (aka Gold Mist Metallic) color is also a pearl and would look extremely elegant, but would really be a striking contrast against the dark cladding of the VX. Pick this paint color if you want the cladding to really "pop" as a contrasting color.

Though I can't take credit for it, it was painted when I bought it. It does match the seats perfectly IMHO, that picture has bad light though. I've got a couple others in my gallery. Not sure what the paint is, but I've noticed ford escapes with the same/very similar color, might even be a little brighter. I really like the green at the bottom of the brochure posted above, plus if you match the seats I think green seats would be really cool.
