Time for the anual rattle can paint job.....hmm what color??

Time for the ol girl to get her anual rattle can paint job. I love the black but kinda bored with it. What color would you paint her. Needs to be a color i can get at Walmart or Mendards.

Anyone wannna photoshop her flat dark purple?

Thanks everyone.

 

Yellow

 

i all ways liked the flat bark blue

 

Flat gold...

 

Bored with that? Yea, right.........
I really like it the way it is.

 

Buy the paint in a quart can and shoot it with a cheap Harbor Freight gun. Most alkalid enamels can be thinned with acetone and shot.

Red oxide primer with a little gloss red mixed in will give a really cool sheen. Stripe it up and your done.

 

what's on sale this week?

 

nice flat yellow...

 

White.

 

flat white ..... i have a gallon of hot rod flats flat white i was going to use it on my old 60ty f100 but i dont know now

 

Probably go with a darker color.

 

Darker than black?

 

yea its called bluke they sell it at you local whatcha-ma-callit store

 

satin red.

 

I would really like to see it dark purple.

 

I was gonna say dark purple

 

Dark purple would be my pick too! I also have a soft spot for plain old grey primer

 

satin/semi-gloss baby blue. yes, really.

+1 on the quart or two of enamel and a cheap harbor freight gun.

 

Krylon "Bubble Gum" flames over the black.

 

A beautiful car!! Great lines. You should be proud to own it. My vote...any color you like.
Back in the 70s I had a friend who went around to all the body shops and painters asking for free opened used cans of Imron. Sometimes he'd get half an ounce, sometimes a half gallon. Anyway, he mixed it all up, all different colors. Some metallics. I helped him prep his car, a 49 Ford tudor. Body work was very good, primed it with epoxy. Then we shot the paint. It was the strangest color that I, or anyone, had ever seen. Way beyond description. Sort of a purple, blue, brown with metallic flecks every so often. People would ask what color it was and he replied, "I don't know". And they'd get pissed.

 

w-m has a really nice harbor blue.....or chrome in a can.

 

wally world sells a badass cobalt blue satin in rattle cans that would look sick on that car,you could tape off some sweet looking vintage style scallops and spray those over that black!! has anyone ever taken a gallon of paint and mixed with baby powder? theres a finish to die for!!! really looks good in purple or baby blue! ARCO

 

Deep Purple, Machine Head!

 

Leave it flat black and put on lime green scallops with a purple pinstripe around each scallop

 

i would love to see a example of that paint idea, it sounds interesting

 

I second this.... it would look great.........

 

im all about purple, but flat gold really would look cooool!!!!!!

 

Flat gold

 

Red oxide always looks good to me. I like gold for that car. Why not just throw a quick paint job on the car with a spray gun?

 

oregano green....rustoeum
