Is this hugger orange?



It is reddish orange. I can't say it is a pure orange or pure red.

Anyone know where the paint code is? The tag on the drivers side door jamb doesn't show it.

Looks to be hugger, mine is the same two tone combination.

You can verify paint code on the SPID in the glove box or original build sheet (if you found one, usually behind the seat somewhere around the gas tank).

553 on the build sheet would mean a two tone white with hugger orange. Like this:

I don't have any remains of the build sheet, only part of the glove box sticker. It shows white/light red 4544AA

Re: Is this hugger orange?

Here is mine. The inside still has the original red orange (hugger) paint. I always have trouble telling light red and hugger apart when looking at them on the computer. In person it's pretty easy.

Re: Is this hugger orange?

Light Red is a different color. Not Hugger Orange. Hugger Orange is sometimes listed as Red Orange. Gotta look at the paint code on the SPID to be sure. That code does not change with the name of the color.
