 Just do a Keyword search. I saw it on a link that was posted on the main page one time. My self, I would use Hemi Orange, that would have been correct if Cooter painted it. I think it was a GM color on the show.

there IS no correct color of orange for the General Lee, back in the day they just painted the charger what ever orange color they had on hand..

True, they had a bunch of different colors. Mine is in the body shop right now getting ready for paint. Got some samples of other colors and chose one of the original General Lee colors.

"correct" color depends on who you ask, I have heard they used hemi orange, vitamin c orange, (mopar colors).  Corvette flame red, hugger orange (GM colors) and Big bad orange (amc color) . thats true look at a site with a lot of real GL pics (from the show) on it and side by side you can really notice shade differences from car to car. Also I have read in articles that back in the 80's when show was in filming, warner brothers didn't build the cars theirselves, they contracted (farmed out) the work to like 4-5 different bodyshops, so thats another reason they are so many differences in cars, I remember seeing an article about a local shop in southern cal that got all the 68's to convert to 69 generals.
just telling you some of the info I've heard/ read about.
good luck,
Jason
