Hugger orange - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Sledge · 05-07-2002, 04:07 PM

Hey guys,

I'm getting ready to paint my '72 Jimmy project. After going through a rainbow of colors, I think I'm set on hugger orange.

Does anyone have any good pics of our generation trucks painted in hugger?

Also is this the same hugger orange as on the cars? The trucks I've seen seem more red than the cars, but maybe that's just lighting conditions. If anyone knows for sure I'd appreciate you shouting out.

Thanks!

I love hugger orange, but I think it needs some black to set it off just right.

Try Blazair's site: http://cyberods.com/ and you can see what your truck looks like in just about any color, lowered, chopped, flamed, pinstripped, etc. It's pretty cool.
