History Is there a color you won't paint a car? why?

I made the mistake of painting my old 1932 Ford hiboy roadster orange, I liked the color but got so tired of being ask if I was a Clemson University fan, I guess because I live less than 30 miles from the school, I hear the same question when I drove to Knoxville, Tennessee, I suppose the Volunteers have orange uniforms also.

I bet I fielded the question about my college affiliations every time I drove the car.

I wont paint a car or truck orange again, I think from now own I'm gonna stick with BLACK. HRP

 

I was going to say yellow but............

 

Yellow/Red...
When in doubt, Black

 

White. Got tired of hearing "how much bondo are you trying to hide".

 

I couldn't do Chebbie Orange either lol

 

Actually, being a died in the wool Ford fan, and having had a '57 Ranch Wagon with a 406, and a while back a 427 Galaxie, I guess I'd like to paint MG427's '62 Galaxie mine. Simple as that !!

 

Nope, the car will tell me what color it wants to be. I listen.

 

Black. White. Too boring. Brown - ugly.

 

White would be ok if I lived in AZ, NV or NM for practical reasons.

 

I won't paint one black, but then, it's not even a color.

I still like my old orange truck, painted it that color in 1981...still have it...

 

WTF is wrong with yellow? Although it does have to be the right yellow for the car.

 

Look closely and read in the irony

 

White or green.

 

Red (any) for two reasons, everyone has it and the wife hates it.

 

My favorite color is nude....

 

I always thought black was a mixture of all colors and that white was the absence of color.
Edit: I was wrong you were right. Damn art teacher in HS was total BS

 

But if you sold the car in Denver, orange would be a great color with the Denver Broncos...wll, maybe not
this year....sigh....

 

I’m colorblind. It wouldn’t matter anyway.
Brown/green is my choice I wouldn’t have. Some yellows and no more red cars.

 

Yellow, peach or purple......

 

Anything shiny I like for the most part.
Olive ,kind of too much green when in the Army{ medic spec 7 ,in the 70s },an brown has never looked good to me.
Exceptions are out there though.

 

Yellow .... wax on .... wax off .... get asked all the time
Red ...... Resale Red ..... everyone loves red
Washington Blue .... will be the next colour
You have to mix it up ......

 

I prefer not to paint em anyway

 

Brown, Too sober

 

Depends on the body style, basic colors never get old but all the candy/ flip flop crap is outdated before it dries. Trendy colors are just that, trendy.
I have owned black cars in the past and appreciate how good they look but keeping them clean is nerve racking.
I know one thing I will never own another vehicle with a black interior-boring, lifeless, and a bitch to keep looking clean.

 

Rust!

 

Brown.
looks like sh...

 

what ever color some one told me that I have to paint it that color.

 

Poo brown or resale red. I would rather leave it in pink & purple primer.

 

Earth tones, the lite greens, browns, blues, and gold shades that a lot of cars were painted over the years when new. Not because they were cool but because your grandmother liked it! Trepanier and Foose really brought those shades back into vogue in the late 90's and a lot of builders have stuck with them. I like Black and dark and menacing metallics! I want my cars to look mid evil! lol Larry

 

Actually, my '62 406 Galaxie 500XL still has it's original black paint- it ain't perfect, but presentable. The ragtop is a 390 car, but is also a black XL
