who out there has a orange chevelle. I am curious about painting my 66 a orange or a orange-red. lets see all these orange cars hopefully a few 66's

http://www.itsawarzone.com/cars/Chevelle/100_8852.JPG

Heres a pic of mine. Its a 69 though. Yes I know the stripes are to short I painted them that way because I brought the black up to above the headlights. I like it that way.

Color is Hugger Orange. Cheap and somewhat easy to match.

Here is a pic of my old 71 hugger orange

heres my original 70 painted monaco orange same as hugger, Jim

I dont have any pictures because this has been over 30 years ago but for what its worth my cousin called one day and told me he just bought this orange 67 chevelle, and after seeing it it was sharp with the black interior.:thumbsup:

Do you have a better picture of your hood? I'm thinking of painting my 69 El Camino the same way.

Here's our '72 in the original color.......orange flame. It looks different depending on the light so I added two pictures to show the difference.

click on my name blwnrat upper left then click on my public profile to see my color. I took it from a porshe.Its called continental orange. When I mixed it I left out a littl red and added a little orange pearl & yellow pearl, .In the sun the color really pops. Have won best of paint few times>Compared to the factory Hugger orange this is much more orange were hugger has a redish tint. Hope it helps you.

lot of nice custom colors out there, just be sure to have extra left for touch ups or any repairs that might arise due to accidents, never know what will happen. Jim

I can get you a pic...thats easy.

I used to have a 69 Concors 4 door

Painted it silver and a homemade maroonish purple that I mixed.

Painted the car out back in the hot summer sun. Paint dried immediately.
I painted the Maroon at the bottom and brought it up along the front like my Orange one is. Separated the colors with a hot pink pin stripe. I got more compliments on that paint job then anything I ever did...I wish the digital camera was around then.

Those Orange cars sure stick out... Look great.

look in my sig., it is the 2007 chevy sunburst orange metalic

Hi,
Below is a link to my Photobucket. I have an Hugger Orange with Gold Pearl and Copper Candy. Sounds like a tough paint job huh? It wasn't that bad and I did it in my garage.
Good Luck and you will not be disappointed with Orange.

Orange Chevelles are the BEST, but I might be biased..:D

Oh wait its slightly different...

Gee Scot,
I wonder if my current restoration below will ever look as good as yours? At least it is a Paint code 72

here are a few pictures of mine when it was first painted:

Believe it or not, I really want to paint my car soon.... It's looks "good" but I'm looking for almost perfect.. Besides I've done just about everything else to it, a paint job only seems in order :D:yes:

Thanks for the kind words though :beers:

I'll agree, orange is the BEST:hurray: My buddy Scott is gonna buy this one for me in trade for a paint job!!!:thumbsup: http://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/976053044.html

69ssMike,
That is a good friend, most friends want stuff for free! That car looks like the one I just bought except for the stripe color. I bought mine for $3050 and it is a true paint code "72" car Monaco Orange. Below is the link.

I like all the orange chevelles,but especially the 72 flame orange. But i am also biased because my 72 camino is flame orange.

Seems like a lot of dough for that bucket of rust.... I wouldn't even want to see the floor/trunk pans in that one..

BTW, where the heck have you been Mike??? LONG time no see, stop in chat sometime, I'm in there almost every night..

**edit, on second look that car really doesn't look too bad..

Here is my 68ss with HOK tangilo orange pearl

These are not mine, but exactly what I want....im leaning torwards the brighter orange.

I got 12 grand for that rustbucket I had, but it ran good. Real SS's are hard to find AND will bring more money, paperwork seems easy to fake, vin tags are a little harder. Real busy at the shop, ice and snow are good:D, but I could do without the 30 below tonight!!!! It could be worse http://www.chevelles.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=28161&cat=21

NoTalent, I hate typing that name, everyone has a talent.

I used Hugger Orange as the base, then 1 coat of clear with Gold Pearl mixed in, then 1 coat of clear mixed with copper candy, then 3 coats of clear. Cut and buff when finished within 1-2 days. You can buy the pearl and candy powders that mix with clear at paintwithpearl.com.

I like that color -- what is it?

Another orange ID question... This one belongs to 70_Red_Chevelle here on the forums, although to me, it looks more orange than red. Anybody know what color this is? I tried to email him, but his email address doesn't work. I sent him a PM as well.

I'll have to check, pretty sure it was a color used on mid-late 70's gm pickups.

If your looking for a basecoat clearcoat, Less work, easier repair if you need to. HOK really show the pearl in the sun. Not as much depth as the candy and pearl but still looks nice. The pic below shows how it looks in the sun.

Nope...I wish I did...its what im lookin for....:beers:

I would really like to know what color this is as well...Ii is stunning, I love it...Is it just a Hugger Orange car with the photo playing tricks? I love it anyone with more information on the car above and its color?

Not a Chevelle..well sort of the frame is 69 Chevelle...

anyway...it is orange...same color that was on Moxie the soda...

http://www.stoudtsautorepair.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=309

So is it code 72 hugger orange of some other color orange??

here's a pic of mine before I repainted it it's hugger orange (code 72) with a little yellow pearl mixed in the clear.http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt257/blownrat/Chevelle_065.jpg And here's the new color just painted but not all back together yet H.O.K tangelo orange and 2008 porsche pearl black.http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt257/blownrat/Chevelle001.jpghttp://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt257/blownrat/Chevelle024.jpg

The picture above looks different then your code 72 orange to my eyes.. The one above looks darker to me...Does anyone know who's car that is??
