Very Viper Orange (VVO) paint surcharge

[BenDiem]

Can anyone tell me why the VVO carries a surcharge of $600.00 over any of the other Viper metallic colors? The Snake Skin Green, and Graphite Metallic do not carry a surcharge. I don't get it?

Tks in advance for the explanation.

Has the word Viper in the title, maybe just another cruel form of Viper tax?

On my window sticker for my '08 there is a charge for SSG to the tune of $600.00 The only colors there were not a charge for on the GEN IV's was Viper Red and Black

They know it is sacrilegious to paint a Viper any color other than Red (and OK, Black) so they charge you for your insolence.

So do you get a credit on the bill if you get yellow? It only seems fair that they give you some money back since you can't keep up with the others.

OOOoooh, that's a cold shot!!

It is interesting that Copperhead Orange is so far up the speed chart that no one dares mention it...

I have to say, the Snakeskin Green does grow on you, though, at first I was put off, now I love it! Way better than the old pastel DayGlo green (AKA Kawasaki green) Dodge used in '69-70, though I'd take it on a sportbike.

Because for every 20,000 red/black only 17 vvo

No, the $ credit is so that someone will actually put their sensibilities aside and drive it away.

I love VVO. I WANT.

Umm, hello!!! Wake up my little red friend. Dodge clearly marks up the price of "other" colors besides red and black because they know people will pay it. When a customer comes in and sees a red viper, then sees a paint mark up, they normally will just laugh and walk away (except for a few misguided red fanatics). Red=No premium for being slow

Dodge did the same with GTS Blue on my 2006 SRT-10.

VVV also had the same $600 upcharge...you are not alone

Certain odd ball colors cost more to paint. Multiple layers of paint are required for certain odd ball colors such as oranges and bright yellows which require a specific sequence of colors to be laid down. Need to keep this in mind if you ever need body work done. If a paint shop just puts down that color followed by a clear coat... it will NEVER match.
