My restored 72 Blazer stock color "medium red".

BTW, she's for sale...http://www.dougploss.com/72_blazer.htm

I am also on the hunt for the right orange. I'm repainting my 1980 K20 4x4 and am after more of a "burnt" orange color. My buddy had a mid 70's Chevy stepside that from memory was the perfect color. I was at the paint store today looking at the Dupont charts. The only year they had that far back was 1977 and the truck color was Tangier orange. Seemed a bit bright. I have been scrubbing the net to try to find that color!

Here's my Blazer. I can't seem to find a picture of my old Orange 72 Challenger RT before I painted it.

I have two orange hod rods both hugger orange! I have loved this color since my dad drove his brand new 1970 3/4 ton hugger orange fully loaded truck home. ($4,775.00) The nova is a65 hard top/ zz4 hot cam, 1.6 roller rockers with 17" vintec wheels my truck is a1971 that was a long bed. 5 year resto

Here is another one with Atomic Orange. Pictures don't really do it justice.

flashed · 12-10-2009, 11:43 PM

I have a 72 ElCamino that is flame orange but I cant post pics . Some kind of glitch in my computer wont let me. Its kind of like hugger orange but with a touch of red with metalic . It really pops in the sun.

Heads up...found Atomic Orange in a single stage urethane today for 176.50/gal. at my local paint shop. It's Dupont Nason Ful-thane 780347. Not a show finish, but will work for me on my K20 driver.

Richard8971 · 01-08-2010, 10:46 PM

Here's my '67 stepper. Modified Lamborghini California Orange Pearl BC/CC. About $160 a quart the way I had it mixed. Beautiful color! I get more complements on the color than anything. Wouldn't change a thing.

Anyone shoot that Atomic Orange? I'm about 2 weeks away from shooting it on my '80 K2500. I have some questions (like coverage)

Brads71C10 · 04-23-2010, 10:57 AM

I am thinking of painting my 71 C-10 Orange, but I am looking seriously at the new Inferno Orange Met. (same color as the 2010 Camaro)......what do you all think? i know its too each his own...but just like opinions!

jgmc · 10-16-2010, 08:10 PM

Mine is GMC cardinal red.

C10-Driver · 10-16-2010, 08:38 PM

I really like the reddish orange that came on these trucks. The color on my 68 was referenced from the original factory paint code (I never did find out the name but my painter knew the color I wanted). I found a chart that calls it Red Orange... Maybe someone that knows more about this can chime in.

Here it is after it was painted.
