What year/make is the car? 9C seems to be "Bright Copper Metallic", as you say but let us know!

Thanks for the comments. The sides look awesome but half the hood is faded to the metal. It looks so shiny cuz i put alot of the carnuba wax on it. im trying to find the right color and maybe even trying to paint a section myself.sigpicComment

A few years ago, I went to look at a GM coupe that was a similar colour for $500. The body and frame needed work, so I decided to keep my money.'79 Continental Town Car

Guys..... it wasnt "Bright copeer metallic. i just got the paint and painted the sample and it was way more orange then the car. again i cant see the code cuz the tag is gone. anybody know the code?sigpicComment

I went with the code you posted and that code WAS "bright copper metallic". So, either you have the incorrect code or your paint was mixed incorrectly.

Your car is over 30 years old. The paint will never match or look the same. Amount of coats, primer/sealer color all will make the color look different as well.~David~
