Need some help choosing a color

[Y-TRY]

Mine is '91 Corvette Competition Yellow, but if I were to change I'd go Hugger.

My vote is for Hugger Orange.

Another color I saw on a '69, which looked suprisingly good, was a late model pewter color, but I realize that's not on your list, either.

So, since I like Hugger, and am a Longhorn fan, living in Austin, the closest in your list would be burnt orange.

i'm with race-rodz.....earth tones are hot right now! But it's your car and you have to live with it...I went through several before deciding on the colors for my car!

HOK crimson red is a nice bright color....

Nothing wrong with BLUE

Ralley Green would be cool too

Just my $.02 on colors on first-gens...

IMO, These cars have some really defined body lines and creases (esp in 69) and so, bright metallics with fine metallic particles really work especially well on them.

One thing I like to do is, when considering a color that was not an available original color on that particular vehicle, I ask myself "if the designers of this car were sitting around a table in 196X looking at color samples...would the color that I'm considering today have had a shot at making it, as one of the factory available colors? ...just one more way to look at it...

I have tended to be somewhat "conservative" with color choices. I have heard quite a few people with cars painted with various wild colors say that after a short while they "got sick of" the color...

That being said...I'm sick of "conservative" colors now, and this time I'm going more "wild" -Rob

Thanks guys for the input on color choices. I finally chose a color, but you will just have to wait until you see the pictures. I think it will turn out great. She roles to the booth monday morning. I will be at the body shop all week helping out and at the same time trying not to get in the way.

Well............back to the shop to finish sanding! stay tuned!

Cool! I'm looking forward to seeing the booth-fresh paint pics.

My car is still in paint, but I went with the Subaru Blue Pearl with the Nissan Gray rally stripes. I have not seen the finished product as of yet, but it should look like Steve Rupp's old 69RS. That's where I got the idea for that color.

I also have the Subaru blue pearl on my car but I added a darker Ford blue to it to darken it up a little and I love it. Just took the cans and mixed 2 parts Subaru with 1 part Ford to make 1 gallon so there's lots left if I ever need it.
