In the next few weeks, I will be painting my bike that color. I paint my bike a different color every year. I did the duplicolor mirage ice and it was off da hook. I always get compliments on it especially when the sun hits it. Tangelo Pearl is a nice color. I have had my eye on that color since the last paint job on my bike. I will also put in some blue ghost flames to tame down the color. If you have some spare parts, walmart sells the spray paint by Kustom Kolor in tangelo pearl if you want to see how bright it is. Also, if you are on a budget, check with Sherwin Williams Auto Paint. They can match the paint for about a half of what House of Kolor charge. Just some money saving tips. Good luck.

Man I didnt realize that was Kandy tangerine! Man that makes me sick to my stomach! I have been wanting my bike done for a half year! LOL damn I need another 2 jobs!

My good friends Aero-coup(spelling) Monte-Carlo was paint Kandy Tangerine! With Kandy peach flames/ pink flakes!

How much did it cost you to get it done, If you don't mind me asking?

200 for supplies, i painted it myself...thats what im getting ready to repaint it, those pics reminded me how much i loved that color lol

If I was to ever paint my bike it would be one of those two colors for sure!

I don't check in for a few days, and you are back to orange again! What happened to white?? Picking colors is half the fun though.

I love orange. I have a KTM you know... That orange with the metallic or pearl flake is nice. I would make it two tone with some metallic black somewhere - solid orange, maybe too much? Or maybe a dark metallic silver instead of black.

Wait... that's almost like your avatar again.... full circle.
