Hey Gang,
Just thought you might appreciate some updated pics of my 69 RT (Claudia) she's finally got some paint!
The colour is Go ManGo, the lighting in these pics isn't that great but it really "pops" in the sun! Anyway I think it turned out awesome - Body is DEAD STRAIGHT and the paint looks awesome IMHO - and this is before being cut and polished!!
BTW - does anyone know the history of this paint colour? I know its on the "new" charger but when was it first used by Dodge?
Thx
Pete

Looks real good!  "Go Mango" is paint code K2 also known as "Vitamin C " and originally came out in 1970 |

It looks a lot like burnt orange in those pics, but I'm guessing i gets more orange in the sun? Congrats to you, I'm envious of your new paint job.  |

As far as I know Go Mango is a mid year 1969 color & a solid color with no Metallics. Looks like your car had Metallics, Your car did not look Go Mango but more like FK5 Burnt Orange Metallic. Looks good though. LEON. |
