PPG Omaha Orange, Hugger Orange, or Grabber Orange?

Post by 77Moneypit »

I can't figure this one out. I like all of them and really favor the PPG Omaha Orange. Has anyone used any of these to paint their trucks? If so do you have any pictures? I'm driving my wife crazy having the few pics I have and making her compare them side by side. THANKS!!!

71PA_Highboy, I found the Mach 1 Grabber Orange you were referring to. Looks great. If you google Mach 1 Grabber Orange Project, there is a really good site that the guy put together showing his progress. Thanks! Now it's between Omaha Orange and Grabber Orange. Were getting there.

GT-Racer, thank you for the picture. That gives me an idea of what it will look like once it's done (one day?? hehe). Thank you!

jzjames, outstanding! Thank you for those pics. I like the darker orange now which is a little closer to the Omaha Orange over the Grabber Orange. Knowing my luck, when I thin the Grabber Orange it will probably come out to yellow. Thank you again!
