RWHITE692's 69 Camaro Project

[rwhite692]

Well guys I am thinking about paint colors, and I'm going crazy.

I am fixated (currently anyway) on various golds and copper/oranges..

Part of me wants to "honor" the car by painting it the original code 65 Olympic Gold, with a black hockey stick (D90) stripe, but, The color that the car currently is (~20 year old re-paint), is not Olympic gold; it is definately a bit more of an "orangey" gold than the original Olympic Gold, which is more of a greenish-gold. I like the current gold more than the Olympic Gold color.

I was thinking perhaps a color close to what it is now... I know there were a few Oldsmobile golds from the late 60s (Cutlass/442, I remember, had a pretty cool gold available).

Another part of me wants to paint it in a more loud color, like perhaps the copper-orange metallics some examples of which can be seen on the Honda Element, Chevy Avalanche, and Nissan Muranos of late... But, I wonder if I get a loud color, if I'll get tired of the color really quickly...

Any ideas welcome! - Rob
