Which color do you like Ty? I kinda like the blue too, but the red is hot looking too! Hard choice, both are beautiful colors.

Default Peer pressure! LOL

It's not that I don't like the blue, but the car has always been a shade of burgundy... it was burgundy when I bought it back in high school in the 80s and it was repainted the current burgundy when I was stationed in Montana in the early 90s.

There was supposed to be a poll attached to make this easier... but it's sounding like the easiest thing to do is to just give into the peer pressure! LOL

Seriously, I'm leaning toward the Jetstream Blue... or the PPG Sunset Red...

another vote for blue! Only down side if any to jet stream blue is it's a three stage and that means more money for materials and little more time spent in booth. Just remember that your the one who's going to look at it everyday when it parked in your garage. Car will look great in any of those colors your looking at. Joe

Well…I guess you will have to change your screen name to OLDBLUE! Personally I like the jetstream blue the best and will probably paint my next car that color. The bottom-line is that it’s your car and you should build it the way you want it.

Whenever I get stuck with a car decision, especially when it comes to aesthetics I ask my 6 yr old daughters and go with what they like. The only downside to doing it this way is that my car may turn out looking like something from the movie Cars.

Good luck with the decision!

I've never been a huge blue fan, but based on the renderings, blue is the color for that car.

Red better suits a Marine. Which is one reason I voted for blue... and, IMO, the blue looks much better with the CF.

honesty ty i wouldnt paint it blue if i were you... i can tell just from over the computer you dont really want the blue and if you do go with it you will only due to the fact that other reccomend it.and the maroon i think is really only in your head because the car has always been a shade of maroon for that nonstalgia. when i see post from you about the color i think YOU are really drawn to the red color i think you just second guess yourself because everone ELSE like the blue. no doubt all any of the colors will look killer but i dont think you should let everyones opinions blure you vision for the car!

just think if someone held a gun to you head a said pick a color RIGHT NOW!
what would you say??? lol
