    Looking for opinions what color should it be

     



    Finished this bad boy last fall and haven't decided what color to paint her and winter is half over.

    Purple is a very popular color for hotrods. Traditional flames stand out good on a grape purple car. My '51 will be a medium dark grape purple.

    I like it the way it is too. That shiny stuff just makes you mad the first time you get careless and chip it with something. (Like damn jack handle but I uhhh wouldn't uhhh know....)

    Me buy a hot pink car? maby when I become color blind to the color red. I like purple hotrods, Hot pink could look cool if it was done to the right car. Generally, pinks do look nice on late 50's cars when done a 2 tone pink and white combo.

    Pink looks good on a female-driven race car Matt. That's all I can think of.

    Please note: this is a good example of "bullsh*$$*ng". Or, if its true, I never plan to become a geezer club member!

    That was done by spraying a color over a "lace" doily, like the side of this body I bought many years ago.
