It's on House of Colors web site, one car is $80 if I remember correctly?

I used to make my living helping people choose colors and fabrics - as a wholesaler in the furniture industry... and there are many ways a retailer needs to learn to help the consumer A) to make a choice and B) to not make a mistake....


One of the things I used to preach was -- if you follow your heart not your head, and you don't listen to what your friend wants -- then you might end up with a floral sofa -- and a piece of modern art on the wall - and a chinese rug.... and nobody but you could put those together..... but when you looked around your house -- you LOVED everything you see.

Pay attention to what Greg is telling you. His advice is spot on.

I had a hell of a time chosing a color for my project. In the end, I did exactly what Greg suggested. I chose the color that I always visualized the car to be in my daydreams/dreams.

I agree. I'm gonna follow my vision of what I want the car to be, hell I've had the same vision for my last 2 novas and this is the one that'll get done! Thanks for all the comments guys!

I voted for the gray with the black trim. But that's the color combo on my 66 Chevelle, so I'm partial to that! haha.

The only way I think the Hot Rod Black would be cool is if you put a big skull and cross bones on the hood like the DeathProof Nova! I would love to make a replica of that car.

That's the color of my chevelle. Dark cherry metallic it was on some of the late 90s cadillacs and gmc trucks. It's on the newer ones again now as well. Might as well be black!
