Orange Trucks... Lets See Em - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

elks · 10-05-2011, 09:34 PM

I am nearing the point of getting my motor up and running and getting my truck driving for the first time in a 7 years. It is stock orange and white, which was repainted once. I have some rust to fix, but I want a plan for my paint. I want a stock look, but something that allows the truck to stand out. It is 2 tone orange and white. I am wondering if maybe I go solid orange? Skip the white. Etc. Let me see some options.

Hugger orange

fastwillie 696969 · 10-05-2011, 11:59 PM

blood orange

HeavyD · 10-06-2011, 12:40 AM

Two tones always stand out, and orange is a pretty bright color...I would repaint it stock, but that's just my opinion.

If you have a custom truck and want something BRIGHT look into House of Kolor Tangelo pearl. It has a nice look as rounded edges rollover on body contours. Pretty spectacular color.

Not mine but i've always liked orange trucks. My 72 was factory orange and i will probably go back to that when i get around to painting it one day. The 3rd pic is a sad pic, saw that truck sitting at a local body shop recently...

Just got his 70 beginning of the year. First 67-72 C10 I've owned. Plan to completely redo when I get a place to start taking it apart. Enjoying it for now.

My truck is green, but Hugger Orange and white is my all time favorite paint scheme. Medium red looks orange when it fades. See pic.

**Steeveedee** · 12-29-2017, 05:29 PM

Mine was white/Hugger orange/white from the factory, but my father in law had it repainted and the lower white was painted orange. I'll eventually repaint the lower white again, since I like it better.

My med red 72’s interior was parchment, but like a black interior with Hugger Orange best.
