We are restoring my daughters 1973 340 RR. We are just about ready to Primer. She has seen this 1973 orange RR posted many times on the web and loves the color. Would anybody know of it or what the paint code might be? Thanks much!
Looking for paint code

Paint codes and chips here:

It looks like Vitamin C, which I believe is code K2.
....I guess most codes list it as EK2.

Is that available yet? Is that what would ask from PPG industries? Our body man showed us a 69 chrysler orange 999 ( Brand code: 60436 ) from PPG industries I believe. It didn't look too bad but this car on the web just caught her eye. Thanks much.
Oh yeah, it's out there. Most of our old colors are. Not sure of the PPG code. I got UreKem paint (in a complete kit) from the Coating Store.

here's the 73 codes, well some of them anyway
that Orange is maybe a 69-71 era paint code/color
here's the 69 (orange 999 code special paint or K2 Vit. C are different colors)
& 70 (Vitamin C - K2)
& a 72 Plymouth codes
sorry I didn't have many of the Dodge codes/color pallets saved
69 Dodge is probably (***999 special Paint code too)
1970 Chrysler codes, V2 Hemi Orange Dodge, Vit. C Plymouth
or maybe Go Mango Dodge K2 maybe

If you have a part that is still painted you can mail it to them and they will color match it exactly.

If her car wasn't originally orange, just take her to an auto paint store, and look at orange paint chips. She can pick out what she likes.(in my worthless opinion... that looks like omaha orange to me, 68-early69 color.)
If you want the correct 73 orange , just about any decent paint shop should be able to mix what you want.

She kind of likes that straight Orange 60436 (999). I like the Vitamin C. Got to be her choice though. I see the 60436 is available at PPG. Is there a crossover number for Vit C for PPG industries?

This is the ‘69 999 orange. Paint was PPG. Many years ago now but hasn’t changed. Looks like the photos you posted.

There were rwo versions of orange on the 69s (at least on the roadrunners). If i remember right, the 999 omaha was more orange than the later k2 vitamin c, which has more red in it. I know yours is a 73, but there is a vid on you tube that shows all 24 , 1969 roadrunner colors, ON 69 runners. A good way to scan them all, to see what you might like on your car.

I am guessing that's the 999 60436 plymouth orange? I think I might like it better than Vitamin C!
