Any Ideas for the paint on my ride, I'm gonna redo it in the spring, looking for ideas. Let me know if anything jumps to thought

 

There was a stock color in the early sixties that looked like a very pale purple mist color, bordered on pink but not a pink. There is a photo of a starfire in a book I have at home in that color. Absolutely beautiful.

 

I think it looks pretty cool in white with the black hood. It looks HERCULIAN. If you really want to repaint it you could redo it in root beer brown and bronze.

 

Three thoughts jump out at once. 1) stock, 2) silver, or a derivative, 3) a dark metallic like dark carmine (my vote) or black sapphire. I'm thinking that a dark metallic would enhance and compliment the horizontal lines well. Possibly extending the length of the car visually. Just a bit of attitude, lots of class.

 

Olds64- I'm actually pretty set on redoing it the way it is white with the black hood, but the paint is tired so I need to redo it regardless of what color I choose.


csstrux- sounds classy indeed, dark blue metalic was one of my choices as well, and I was also thinking maybe a dark red metalic.

Oldsguy- I know the color, very nice indeed, but I don't think it fits me or the car

Thanks guys, any more ideas let me know, i've got till spring to decide.
