"Hugger Orange"This color " Hugger orange" is more of a University of Texas "Burnt orange". Was very disappointing at first. The color is growing on me and it did lay down nicely.

UghThe paint is fine. Have a small car (70’s Porsche) so thought a gallon was fine. Did interior, door jams in/out, but it’s a small car… right? Nope. Needed 1.5 gal. Not a big deal except the suppliers didn’t mix up another batch for 5 months?!? I know the supply chain was bad but the communication was really bad as well. Bad form. Glad I finally got it.
Will I need to use reducer in addition to the activator for this paint? If so, how much reducer will I need per gallon?
Asked by: Xp72
Reducer is not required. However, if desired, you can add up to 10% reducer to improve flow and leveling. Eastwood recommends using high-quality urethane grade reducer.

Can this product be wet sanded and compounded to a high luster ? Wanting to remove any orange peel or dust if needed.
Asked by: Bob7612
Yes, the Eastwood '69-'72 GM Hugger Orange/Carousel Red 3:1 Single Stage Automotive Car Paint can be wet sanded and compounded to achieve a high luster. This process is effective for removing imperfections such as orange peel or dust particles. Wet sanding should be done carefully, followed by compounding to restore the gloss and achieve a smooth, high-quality finish .
