Orange Fury vs Grabber Orange

[NoReins]

I am starting to really dig the Orange Fury color available for the 2018 Mustang. Does anyone know how close of a color that is compared to Grabber Orange that was used for the 2007-2009 Mustangs?

I *think* Orange Fury is slightly lighter in shade than the previous Grabber Orange, but I question if you'd even notice the difference unless they were side-by-side.

It's hard to compare because Orange Fury has a very fine metallic in it. So in any given light there may be some areas that are lighter and some darker than Grabber Orange. On a cloudy day I think it looks pretty close. Maybe a touch lighter.

Sorry I have no idea, but OF is the best orange since poppy red or calypso coral!

Good thread and very timely!

I went to view some (just delivered to the dealership) '18s here in the UK and there were 3 Orange Furys. My first thought was "wow, that's just like Grabber Orange". It was a dull, overcast day, so it was very difficult to see the metallic flake (even close up). I'd certainly like to see them side by side for a true comparison, but I'd say OF is very close to GO

I think they're similar, but I think Grabber Orange may have been slightly darker. Also, as previously mentioned, the significant difference is probably with the metallic flake. Orange Fury is a bit more lively/interesting to me since the metallic flake causes it to shift in different light.

To me it's almost like comparing Grabber Blue and Nitrous Blue (Focus RS) - the Nitrous pops more on sunny days because it has metallic flake in it.

Orange Fury likes to change colors on you too depending on the lighting. Might be yellow, might be orange.

We all know that competition orange is the best orange. I might get be biased though.

we need a side-by-side of these 2 colors....that way we can get a feel of real world paint and pictures. and we can see with the lighting how each one changes or doesn't change....my gut feeling is that OF is the same GO base but with the Pearlized paint over top so that they cannot call it grabber since its a metal flake topcoat....just my gut.

Based on the pics posted now above in this thread, I think you are right. They look identical in the picture, I think the tri-coat flake feature is what is different and 90%+ of the time, you can't tell it even has the flake. It has to be really sunny for me to notice it in my OF, and even then you have to be looking at the right surface of the car. Its a lot more like the platinum white sparkle then a true metallic flake paint, which I like.

exactly what i was looking for. not saying its wrong to have the same colors. im sure the metal flake adds some sparkle to the car when the sun is out compared to the grabber orange car. if i had the money this would be the next set of colors i would get.

thanks for the picts Twin....

The metal flake in the orange fury is what makes me dislike it. If it was the parnelli color, I'd dig it a lot.
