Can't go wrong with Hugger Orange. There are alot of different shades of orange out there. I also like the DSOM/SOM.

I like it red/black. Leave it like that. If your color needs a refresh than go black

But I really like it in red with black accents!

talk to the place you are gona get paint and tell them you want just straight orange tint. that is the brightest orange you can get without having it look red or gold or anything. he have all our wreckers painted like that but only its red and it makes viper red look dull.
