They are dignified cars and merit a dignified paint, Washington blue is always a good color so is the maroon.
You won't tell me what color your interior is so I won't tell you what color your paint should be. Click on the link and pick one........... https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1...nAhUJLK0KHfUkDJAQsAR6BAgKEAE&biw=1600&bih=757
pin a color wheel chart to shop wall and throw a dart - what basic color hue do you like? - what color will the interior be? - wheels in pic ones that you will be running?
What ever you do be sure to use ONE brand of paint from start to finish and make sure use use a direct to metal primer not all primers are direct to metal and they will fail and eventually loose adhesion, IE they will peal ruining your paint job and all your hard work. I like PPG or Glasurit. I have used these products for close to 50 years and have not had but one problem my error. One Saturday I painted a black 40 Ford in single stage and it as late when the jobber delivered and i did not notice that they sent me retarder not harder Painted the car and ran the bake cycle in the booth and went home, Sunday morning I checked on the car it was still tacky i though the booth miss cycled, so I baked it again and did some repair work on other cars. When the bake cycle was over I checked on the car. To my surprise the car was as slick as i could want but still tacky. I checked the trash and discovered the retarder not harder . Same size can same label but diff part #. 5 gallons of reducer and a lot of rags I had the car ready to paint again. I was lucky that all the prep work had used catalyze products. The jobber made good on it for me. Remember you get what you pay for in materials. Cheaper products don't have as much VP protection in them. And Black paint have different hues to then, some have a brown cast some have a blue cast etc. sorry to be so long winded but did not want you to make a costly mistake. Frank
add some Seahawk highlighter green, 'Couve chrome and paint a 12 on the door then you can drive it to century link on Sundays and fit right in.
Remember the color of sealer you use will have a direct contrast to the color you use IE white sealer under will make it really bright and the darker sealer will make the red darker. Red sealer wonder the same red will make almost maroon. Try some test panels with different sealer under the color you chose and view in natural sunlight to see the results you want.
No it doesn’t. I had a 55 Chevy painted in deep black laquer and spent more time polishing than driving. I almost needed shares in Mother’s. Besides you know that black car’s look better in the shade.
