Just found this thread, my cuda was FK5 so I am always interested in the discussion.  the shade and color seem to vary a lot.

I've watched a graveyard cars cuda fk5 episode on youtube a few times..  they say it doesn't cover well and put on something like 6-8 coats of base.   The makes sense when reading what bossgold wrote about the flake staying in place with light passes.

I've seen some modern jeep wranglers in nice burnt orange, thought about getting their paint code.

Any value in taking the original door for paint scan ?

We recently painted the engine bay, trunk, and window and door jams.  2 coats of base and 2-3 coats of clear seemed to cover those areas well.  I really like the color but can't speak to whether it's a good match to original FK5.
