I had an 08 AO and loved it. It is one color that you'll get your extremes of people that hate it and those that love it. It is a real pain to match paint on AO though as there are many shades of it (maybe that is why GM got rid of it). And yes I went to a good dealer that could match paint as they did a perfect job with another GM car that had Red Jewel Metallic paint. Even areas that were not repainted on my AO would look like it had different shades of panels in low light (such as in the garage). Would I buy it again? Probably not! I just like Torch Red better to be honest. I would buy it over most other Corvette colors though, present and past.

Thanks for the clarification tonypittman. I stand corrected in that the AO looks like the old copper paint in the early 60's, not DSOM. You can see the red in the DSOM next to the AO. Both are beautiful but I prefer AO, 2nd to the black of my C6. :thumbs: :D :cheers:

I like both colors. They look great.

If you want a 09 Z06 here she is :D the rarest of them all 191 Z06's built in Atomic Orange.

AO Vert with beige top and Cashmere interior is a great look. But my hunch is hard to find
