Hot Rods Paint color suggestions for the Destructo Coupe

Your car looks really nice, I rarely see Silver cars, I was expecting to see some POS paint job, I would accept the silver, stripe it and run with it, If you did the tractor or gray that would also look nice. I like the Ford Econoline 2005 Silver.

 

Coolest of all though....

 

X2!!!

 

leave it silver, change the wheels

 

Ok, now I am more confused than ever. I really didn't think anyone would like it's current silver color. Maybe I'll live with it for a while.
I really appreciate all the constructive comments.

 

Off white like Ford "Wimbledon White" or PPG "Vanilla Shake". Burnt orang or terra cotta wheels, like a bright version of red oxide only nice and shiney. Pinstripe in bright orange and black. Add whitewalls if it's in the budget or just add porta-walls to see if you like it. Hey, you asked. For the record, yours is not the 1st car I suggested that for but I haven't seen it done so...

 

That car is beautiful as it sits. I'd have a hard time changing it. About the only other color I'd consider is champagne gold, but thats just me.

 

x2!

 

I like it silver with the photoshopped blue wheels, do some understated scallops in the same color, outline them with white, they will pop and make it look like its moving sittin still!

 

That is one sweet lookin hotrod, it looks like its very well built and a lot of fun to cruise in.To paint or not to paint is the question. Will it have to be lacquer to be traditional?

 

Man it is your car!....Do you want to paint it for us or for yourself?......I think it looks great the way it is....But you are the only one it needs to please So if you want to paint it lime green with bright blue dots, Then you should do it!.....LOL......I am not trying to pick a tick, But I do not see why everyone wants to build their car the the way joe blow likes it!...And while I am ranting, Someone please tell me what you mean by "traditional"....Does it mean the same??...because look around, depending on whos tradition we are talking about....Nothing is more tradition than putting a small block chevy in your car....It has been a rodders tradition for many years....LOL......As well as shiny paint!!.....When you say traditional If you are talking about cars from the 50's built by some of the early great hot rod icons....Then traditional is the wrong word!....Hell "Doane Spencer" would come back from the grave and punch you in the mouth if you were to call anyone of his cars "traditional"....My point is If you are going to build "the same" "traditional" whatever you call it....Car As every other hamb member Then what you are really doing is building a bunch of cookie cutter cars with wide whites and flat black paint.....which is fine If that is what you want, But you should not open your mouth about shiny cars with billet all over the car shows, because it makes you a hippocrite. Do something innovative!...hotrodders of the 40's and 50's were innovative!!.....just my 2 cents

 

Exactly Right...

 

I liked the 2nd of JJ's photoshops but then I'll do a fat chick every now and then, not that fat mind you, just fat.

 

black

 

like said before, bad*** the way it is! leave it and use the time and energy for the next project! and **** the guy in the bmw, he wants your car more than you want his, i can bet you that!

 

I was going to photoshop your car to match this paint job... then I saw it in the Home Depot parking lot.

2 tone, not black, but a dark gray to complement the silver on your ...

Silver looks nice on it. I agree with some of the other comments, dove grey would look nice.
