Someone else has a bamboo car too!!???

It's pretty close to the color in my picture, it's faded a tad since some web designer painted it 10 years ago. Currently my car is on primer and it'll be painted in about a week or so by yours truly.

Long story short: Bamboo --> BEST COLOUR EVER!!!!

the color of my car also came Bamboo. I was undecided which color I wanted to paint the car and the paint store that I bought my paint suggested just paint it the original color. That is what I did. here are a few few pictures of the painting I did. I finally got the fenders and the hood back on yesterday.

The '71 "S" posted by Texas442 might be sandalwood, though the lighting inside of the building could be affecting it.

Bamboo is more of a cream yellow than saffron...a little less yellow in it.

Mine originally was bamboo, but at the moment it's black with the tan top. I'm undecided as to what I want to do with it once I actually get to the work it needs.

Love my bamboo 71 I was going to change the color, but my painter suggested to keep it original. I am so glad I did.

Gary (GH5168), your car has come out so nicely! Congrats!
