Hey paint the damned thing whatever you want but you couldn't beat a black car with a stick. Somethin about it just looks damn good. And of co**** old mna Ford said it best..."You can have any color you want as long as you want black."
I painted my car semi-gloss black because thats what was on sale and the store had lots of it. I am doing my dailey driver the same way for the same reason.And it hides my quickey-fix body work better than somthing realley shiney. as for colors? anything NOT pastel! But I am begining to feel that flat black,red wheels and wide whites are for the conforming non-conformist "wannabe". So is fake patina and leaving your car body in the same rusty state of deterioration you found it in.
i dont think he ment that they have to be painted this way but just when he thinks of a t roadster it red....you know when he daydreams one up it always turns out red same w/ a maroon carson topped custom it always turns out maroon no matter what
I think every car should be either shiny gold, purple, green, orange, blue, red or black...no matter what it is.
It was the law in 1975(at least in Ohio) that your 50's sedan delivery had to be some kind of screaming yellow. This time around I'm torn, been yellow so long I don't think I can switch.
Color?!? That shiney stuff on cars that ain't chrome? Sorry, does not compute. Where can a guy get some of this color stuff? OH, you mean paint? I painted something once, it comes with runs, right? Mine did. How do they get those runs into the spray can anyway? All my stuff has paint on it, it has what ever was there when I bought it. Actually, I'm guilty of painting a few cars, any color but black or red, I don't like red. Black shows off my lousy body work too much, and its hot inside. Gene
