hello
im bout to paint a car with an header orange ( its a dodge 2012 orange )
my question is ?
should i go with a white sealer ? or try to tint the sealer in orange ?
ive done a test , on white this orange is very bright and with a normal grey sealer its darker

what sealer color do you think dodge used for those newest orange challenger ?

if you think that i should tint it , can i use any basecoat to mix with the sealer ?

thanks again

I would try a few test panels (sounds like you may have already) and see which color of sealer gives you the closest match. If you do decide to tint the sealer, don't use mixed basecoat, call the manufacture of the sealer and ask what can be used to tint the sealer, likely they will recommend basecoat tints. using a mixed basecoat will introduce reducers and binders that will compromise the sealer. Hope this helps some.
