Original color or what?

[shiro666]

Greetings,

I have a 67 Camaro in the process of PT transformation. It was black from the factory, but had a lousey green single stage sprayed at one point. Is there any benefit to staying with the stock color for desirability? or should I follow my heart and go with fuscia. Black seems to be popular but difficult to maintain. are prople sick of black?

I feel anything goes when it comes to a PT car, so go with what you want. If it was a numbers car and you were looking for originality, then yes factory paint is important.

Black is a desirable color, and you're lucky the original paint wasn;t some crappy green.

Yes, black is a PITA to maintain and will show waves and imperfections in the body work, so make sure your metal is straight.

NOTHING looks as good and a straight black car wet sanded and polished to perfection with depth for days.

My '69 was originally Frost Green (code 59) and I have never regretted switching it over to Millenium Yellow.:thumbsup:

I definately agree that black is as good looking as it a PITA to prep for and maintain. I guess since I was lucky enough to end up:yes: with a factory black car, the cosmo's were aligned. This is the frendliest forum I have ever posted at. They either ignore or yell at me on the Subaru forums. -and no, I don't ask about Camaro's.

I think black is the best looking of all but only when it's spotless.

You really have to ask yourself if you are painting this car to re-sell or to really feel good in it for years to come. Go with your gut feeling.

Fuscia??

I agree with the afforementioned opinions but I know how you feel about black. I love black but have vowed "never again". Forget swirls... just keeping the dust and pollen off it is impossible. :rolleyes:

Color choice is very personal and you should go with what YOU want but also consider that someday you may decide to sell the car so choose a color wisely. It could make or break your asking price and ability to sell quickly.
