So, Monokote used to have a transparent color that was sort of an orangy-yellow, almost a transparent copper. Does anyone remember what the color is called?

Closest available, maybe what you want? Transparent orange?

Randy,
This is not Monocote but it looks copperish and is transparent. May not be it at all but thought Iwould pass it on.

Thanks for the responses. But not it. Man, wish I could remember.

Finally found a picture.

My guess is the orange transparent. It doesn't look the same in a roll as on the plane where the light can go through it.
-
This is transparent orange Monokote just recently purchased.
Do you have a time frame when you covered with it?
-
Fred,
You're right. It doesn't look right in the picture, but that may be an illusion.
Dave,
That looks red. ;D

Randy, seems to me you used Mica film on that.

This hobby king burnt orange film looks close.

Unless they changed the color of transparent Monokote the photo is the color it should be. Trans Orange

Ding, ding, ding. Brett seems to be the winner. I'll check that out.

Sure looks like transparent Solar Film. This roll is 30 years old.
