    I believe the Japanese orange is different from the copper orange mica offered on the amigo and i-280 pickup. A while back someone posted a picture of the 20 some colors offered for the 175 limited edition in Japan. Can't read the color, of course, but in parenthasis the color code is 766. The color code for copper orange is 838. Anyone read Japanese?

    サンバーストオレンジマイカ(766)

    edit: babelfish has it as "sunburst orange mica"

    Wow, great pic Billy. Thanks for posting it! That's very close to what I'm going for with making mine copper. I think you are right Cstyles about the color difference. I seem to remember looking over the various color chip books and considering the Isuzu Sunburst Orange Mica but finding it was too orange for the door panels. The Copper Orange Mica is slightly darker and redder and somehow, in a weird way, more luminous. Not sure how that works but I'm sure some paint expert can explain it.
