Collateral Damage- My 70 Chevelle site build

BMW has three browns that are similar. First two are Pyrite brown, second two are Marrakesh brown, and final two are Macadamia brown. I'm leaning towards Pyrite brown.

Nice colors

Pyrite has a dark flop to it in the shade. Almost looks black. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx-UzFEiZz0

Thanks, that the info I can use. I don't think I like that very much.

I was going to say, I don't think Marrakesh would look good in the shade. I'm almost certain I have seen this color around here and it looks like pooh when there's no sun.

Have you seen Porsche's Cognac that they used on Panameras a generation ago? Might be too gold for your tastes, but I always thought that color was amazing.

Glad to see progress on the car.

I think I'm gonna have to go with a lighter color. I'm fine with the color being darker in shade, that's normal. But I would hate to end up with a color that only looks great at a certain angle in a certain light.

A couple other Porsche colors. First one is Chestnut brown metallic (color changes a lot depending on light and angle) and the last three are Copper brown metallic.

I think this is a great color for a Protouring build.

The third picture gives you two choices, the rear bumper and the body

Yeah, that's not a good match lol. Jims doing a spray out for the Porsche color, and unless it looks bad I think I'm gonna stick with it.

It’s funny how metallics flip, from sun to shade, from dark streets, to under city lights…you never know what it’s gonna do. My Chevelle is GM Silverado silver and we added a tad more pearl to it. It turns to a light blue hue in city lights at night. I know I’ve mentioned it before here Jody, but check out GM Brownstone Metallic before you lock in a color….and body lines enhance every color also. What’s ugly on a 70’s wagon is fire on a cool car…not that 70’s wagons aren’t cool.
It was available on silverados. It almost turns a shade of grey in the evening shade and city night lights. I TOTALLY regret not going brown on mine. If I could repaint it, it would be Brownstone.
