I think Scott Mock also said he painted his 2nd Gen Camaro the same colour.

I do! But it is a lot brighter than Jrs which I have seen, parked beside!! Depends on the look you want. I personally do not like the "hugger orange" as it is too flat for me.

Steve, Hi wanted to let you know that color on Jrs. second gen is a 3-stage. Might be alot easier on yourself if you do a bc/cc instead unless you have someone who paints cars everyday spray it for you. Joe

Steve, yes painted Jrs. car. Not terrible to do just make sure to walk the length of car when doing the mid-coat and not stop and overlap at end of panels.:thumbsup: Joe.

I think you would be happy with Hugger orange. I have it on my car with white stripes and it really pops.
When the car was repainted I was actually a little shocked at how bright it was.
Here are some pics from an article on my car.

BTW, I do love the color of Junior's car, too. I wouldn't say it pops more than Hugger orange, though.

Ric that is a beautiful car. Congrats on the build. I would love to see it in person one day!! I agree you cannot go wrong with Hugger Orange. My comment on preference was I like a lighter look and I wanted a pearl base in all aspects so the orange was HOK Ultra Orange Pearl. Not a traditional color.

For whatever reason I was not getting any notifications on the updates to this thread. Thanks everyone for the kind words about my car.
I will see if I can dig up the paint info. If you want to message me with your email, I will be happy to send you pictures.
