Which color

Agreed. Wow, my car came out of the factory in gold, green interior. Since then, it's been B5 blue, Plum Crazy purple and now Vitamin C.
 
Thanks for all the input I appreciate it. I did go to the paint store today and asked him to mix me a quart of Vitamin C we will test it and see how it looks. the store calls it mango even though the paint code is K2. is there metallic in this ?

Mango is GM. No metallic. Here is my computer shot formula. Remember, I said my formula was swung by adding Pearl or aluminum. Here is a shot of my radiator header, it's different than the rest of the car, the bright dust look is the Pearl or Aluminum. This is an AXALTA paint code.

Well done! Have you picked out a clear coat to try with it?

When we order from a PPG dealer like you did, then the 2201 is all we really care about.
Yes: It should have beaucoup fine metallics/effect materials you'll see the first time you stir or shake it.

Don't worry too much about the name. The name could be literally anything, even chopped liver, as long as they still have the toners to create the color and didn't goof up, it is probably going to be exactly as intended...but always test to be sure.

Don't forget the marketing name of a given paint color changes with the car brand it was sold on, the model year, and sometimes the model as well. The paint supplier doesn't care about stuff like variances between dodge and plymouth marketing names for various models and years, all they care about is the 2201 formula.

Good luck with the sprayout.

Paintref is always worth a look
