New to the forum .
I'm building 69 GTO judge Revell kit.
Anyone have any suggestions on what orange paint to use ? I keep seeing carousel orange . Not sure where to source it from .
Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

I think, in 1969 it was actually called "Carousel Red" - orangy as it was.

And Arizona Hobbies carries that in a 'Hot' acrylic
High-Gloss-CAROUSEL-RED

And yes, it's Carousel Red - also known as Hugger Orange

Hugger Orange is what you want for the '69 GTO. Testors carries it in their lacquer line. Look in Hobby Lobby and you might find it there.
