Good asnwers! In fact the car is not being restored for profit although someday may be up for sale, The original color is that seafoam green color not sure of the name but its kinda ugly, not as cool as the sublime color, Im just curious how bad it may hurt the resale, 'The cars value should be around $16-$18000 all original including the original ugly paint, I cant belive it would hurt much in resale if its not original color yet a better more popular color. I am also wondering how i should do the hood, flat/green etc...
