Thread: Selecting paint color is tough.

Tweet

Actually I was responding to the first line. "I'm finishing the bodywork on my 59 rambler and still can't decide on a color."

Reds are almost always the most expensive color, until you get into the trick stuff, so if cost is an issue, that might be one to avoid. ...and don't make the mistake of buying a cheap red either. They can fade rapidly, and someday it may be "Mary Kay Pink". :-)

Your car would look great in one of those new bronze colors from PPG or House of Kolor. But that is just my opinion and you may not agree. Color is a very personal thing.

Here's one from the Culver City Car Show this year...

You will know the color you want when you see it. I had my pro street Dart in primer for 4 yrs on the street before I finally picked how I wanted to paint it.
On another note..............that's one bad ass looking little Rambler.......have a buddy who has one and it's stone stock and he wants to get rid of it. He already has too many toys.
You need to post more pics of the motor and other parts of the car,..........very well done hot rambler!!!

Heading out to the garage for more sanding this morning before it's smokin' hot outside.
I appreciate all the input from you guys. Had no idea deciding on paint would be this tough. I've been building this car for seven years now and don't want to blow it on a bad paint choice.
Sunsetdart,
The car is still in mock up so nothing is finished.
Hopefully, this will be the last time I have to take it apart.
It's a twin turbo Lt1 chevy with a 6 speed manual.
It has hydroboost power brakes, custom dash, AC,PS,PW,air suspension
and tons of custom hardware I have machined over the years.

Here's some more pics.
