    You could tell prospective buyers that you will apply the custom color of their choice. That way you still get the highest price without having any potential buyer turned off.

    Sell the sizzle not the steak.

    Anytime I see a car in primer- I'm thinkin' the owner has just squirted over all his sins. Paint a popular color. Stay away from fad colors. No flames, no graphics.
    If it was me- I'd paint red or black for best bang for the buck.

    Black shows off a straight body. For some reason, I've always hated red. No matter how nice the car, or how cheap the car, I refuse to buy red.

    As for myself, I prefer a primered car so I can choose the color I want.

    I've been looking for a 37 or a 39 Chevy coupe but I want an unpainted car. There is too much mistery with what's under the paint on a painted car. The same goes for upholstry. I'd much rather see the car from the inside too and do the upholstry the way I want it done.
    Give me something to cut with, I'm going to build a Hotrod
