Your opinion on paint please. Victory Red or Hugger Orange??

I really need some fellow board members advice as I'm struggling with my choice of paint. I went with Victory Red but I've really become fond of Hugger Orange. I didn't like the Orange at first but it really grew on me recently plus it's a classic color that looks great on older vehicles. So I'm considering repainting it but I'm not sure if I should or not. What color would you choose?

Here is a pic of mine and one in Hugger Orange:

How about both? I remember red/orange color combos in the 70's.

Remember the old saying,” don’t fix it if it’s not broken”? you have a beautiful truck in my opinion. I would spend the money elsewhere.

This sums up my feelings as well. It looks great now so I wouldn't change it.

If you repaint it, you'll be pulling it off the road to accomplish that.

If my blazer was done, driving and looked like that, no way would I pull it off the road.

Drive it gets my vote.
