This is my car, but NOT my paintjob, it's a photoshop, I was checking out this color just over a year ago
That looks awesome...I might be painting my car that color-It is on pro stars and carbed, so it will be a track car most of the time

yea those basterds.. I've contacted them several times, and each time I get the same reply.. It's an in house custom mix (BASF) and they will not sell the paint.. A friend had to wait 6 friggin months to recieve a 1oz bottle of touch up paint!
So yea, you will have to check out House Of Kolors, as they have a few close matches in the metalic candies. The saleen color almost looks like a candy job with a pearl tinted clear.. It's hard to say without getting it in just the right light.. but WOW is it an awesome color in person.

Couldn't a custom paint shop maybe mix up a color that is 99% the same? It'd probably cost a pretty penny, but Chip Foose mixes his own colors on OverHaulin' sometimes. Dunno, it's a possibility

Anythings possible, it's not like Saleen invented the nuclear bomb and isn't sharing it. It can be recreated with some skill.
I like how that color makes the camera CCD clip in the sunlight.

Seriously.....
The 7 color changing paint is very common. It would just take some experimenting with a sunset metallic orange base and whatever makes it change shades.....
A little out of my league, but a custom paint shop could do it. No problem. Just money.

The color doesnt exactly shift tones, it's a basic metalic candy ( transperent) Almost looks to be a burnt copper type orange over a gold base.. I didn't get a chance to study the paint up close, but I'm sure the color/tone could be matched fairly easy. This is actually the color I will paint my 01 GT when the time comes..I'm going to go with a HOK metalic pearl over a silver base though..mo_dingo said:

i don't think saleen is trying to keep the color code a secret, i think they are stupid that they don't even know what color it is. Saleen is a hassle and a half to deal with. My brother has a 00 xp8 saleen explorer and when he called to check on parts availiblity(which is none) the guy on the phone told him that saleen never made explorers.
It is a nice color though. There is a guy around in nj that could reproduce almost any color that you would want. he is expensive though. I had him mix me up this crazy blue pearl color when i painted my banshee frame.

Yeah, that was my car, and its blue not teal (haha) Yeah I was willing to take $2500 for the car, and it has a ton of stuff on it. Nobody bit, so I bought a low mileage 95 cobra and I am swapping the drivetrain in. The cobra was hit in the rear.
Yeah I have known the guys at blacks for like 5 or 6 years. I used to own Velocity Resources, and Speed Distributors.
