    Painted the top gold metal flake last year and never really had any intensions of painting the rest of the body, but now I'm having second thoughts and not sure what color will look good with the gold flake other than black. don't really want to paint it black.
    Now I know there are some pretty opinionated folks on here, so here's your chance to speak up. What color do you think, maybe someone could do a photoshop with different color's. Thanks Gary

    Bright metallic red or blue? (not flake, just metallic)-those pics don't do that car justice at all-she's a beauty!

  4. Cream, maybe the Chrysler 300 beige would go well with the interior you have and the gold flake roof.

    Gloss or pearl white would look nice.

    Alright, these are all good. Keep them coming. The interior may or may not be a issue. If I find a color that takes my breath away I'll re-do the interior to match.
    Mootz, thanks for the comp. hope the Stingray bike worked out for you. Was good to meet you and your wife. Gary
     
  7. Yeah, pearl white, cream, or dark metalic green would look nice with that gold roof I think. I think there's something by HOK called "Ice white" that's like a real glittery white metalic pearl sort of deal that would look nice too.

    Actually black doesn't sound right for that car. Black would make it look like a cop car or a he****. A big long rectangular car like that painted black would remind me of Steve McGarret's jumbo '68 black Lincoln on "Hawaii Five-O"-- too "governmental" looking :D

    my 64' wagon will be white, just like the one my parents bought in the summer of 64'. i know it sounds dull but going camping again in an old 64' chevy wagon will probably land me at the chiroprator but .....

    The green photoshop looks freaking killer, plus the interior color still looks good with it

    For you Gary I think pink would fit quite well! But white would be my suggestion.

    the maroon looks good, brown and gold always work well.
    pearl white with gold lace panel paint would be the ultimate
