my 2 cents

Radiant Green!....Best color in 1972.

Stripe color in black or white depending on your interior color.

just posted this on another thread - here's a dark blue with white top/interor -

here's a shot of one of my old rides

paint was for 85 IROC Camaro

Pic really doesn't do it total justice - was deep / dark color but would
brighten up under direct sun .

this was base coat / clear coat urethane

Viking blue is a stunning color in the light. Out of any blue I would paint my car it would be that. I almost went with viking blue but I love paint in the copper/burnt orange family. Plus it's still the original color to the car.

I'm partial to Nassau Blue, but that Porsche Lapis Blue sounds nice. Can't wait to see pics.
