Re: paint pics

I vote for Hugger Orange
But I can't help with the sanding or funding for the paint, so you'd best just stick with the pearl orange...

Re: paint pics

Here is the color I'm painting my truck. It is a PPG color and is called Lamborghini Orange.

Also, I have included a link to the Classic Trucks website the has a feature on a 67 Chev with a later style bed and a 2-tone paintjob - Orange and Ivory.

http://www.classictrucks.com/feature...evrolet_truck/

I plan on going with a solid color on my truck but it should give you a few ideas.

Re: paint pics

Sunburst orange metallic is my absolute favorite GM color. Here's a couple examples:






It really stands out in person.
