Re: Huggar orange
is it not the exact same paint color? Hugger/crush?
GM renames paint and I assume its for marketing reasons. A prime example is the "Arctic white" they used on 4th gen LS1 cars. That Arctic White is literally the exact same as "GM Bright White"

My experience and what I've read has been different. I believe there was a longer thread, years old, about the differences in colors the Camaros came with. Arctic White has a small amount of blue in it. Im also pretty certain that the orange that GM used is called Carosel Red.

Re: Huggar orange
I concur about using white to seal it before basecoat.
it will take a lot more than you think to cover it completely. My buddy did some test panels for his 69 Chevelle and it took 7 coats of base to get it 100% covered. When they took the lead out of paint, the coverage decreased immensely.
