Default Tangerine Orange

I was kind of interested in getting a tangerine orange paint job, no stripes, and was wondering if this color was even available?

If not, what type of oranges are similar?

Also, how does one go about removing tint? It had bubbled tint on the rear window when I purchased it, and I removed most of it, but cannot for the life of me remove the gummy left overs.

I have tried razors, acetone, and various other cleaners. I want to try and avoid taking it into a tint shop, but it is beginning to look as thought that is my only option.

no help for you on the tint, but as far as the orange goes, obviously it does exist as my car is factory tangerine orange. It was a factory color in 96 as a limited edition and the competition orange came in 2004. My understanding is that ford keeps these colors on lockdown. I have been told that it is expensive and that they will only let you order the exact amount needed to do the job. I have not looked into this myself, just what I have been told, but it makes sense, since it was a limited edition color. Only like 800 were done in 96, not sure about 2004. Of course, I'm sure any paint shop can get/mix orange for you for less than buying ford paint, but I can't quarantee that it will exactly match these cars.
