    Flat black single stage. You can always keep a rattle can and 3m scuff pad in the trunk for on the spot touch-up.

    Mine is rough , it was never intended to be a show car , just a beater to play around with. I wanted to leave it in primer ,but the boss [ wife] said paint it or sell it. The brown hides pretty good but it's darker than I wanted. Oh well , it's just a car.

    Brightest yellow you can find. The people's retinas will get burned out so fast, they won't have time to notice the bodywork.....

    Just remember bodywork is most of the time like women- Good from far but far from good!

    My Morris Minor is a light yellow....kind of a ****er color. It looks really straight, but when you run your hands over the body, it feels like a sack of walnuts!

    WOW, no body said Baby Blue.
    Just about any light pastel color, will hide most rough body problems
    Dark colors, show everything.....
     
  19. White is the most forgiving, black is the least forgiving. Lower gloss is more forgiving than higher gloss. Years ago, when my father was working at Ford's Atlanta ***embly plant, they used to have a "White Sale" at the end of every model year--they were clearing out all the wavy sheet metal that had been culled out earlier in the model year.
