Paint color ideas for my scamp

[johnparts]

So I had thought I was set on Blue/gunmetal grey but my painter has given me a few more ideas to play with. I'm still thinking 2 tone but there are a few options now and I'm not sold on any one color.

So Here are my options:
2010 Deep Water Blue Pearl/ 2006 Mustang Gun Metal grey roof
Maroon and Black roof
2008 Plum Crazy Black roof
2008 Plum Crazy Silver roof

I voted and this is my opinion.....

Gimmicky, 2-tone paint jobs go out of style and hurt resale. A solid color car will always look good.

So true. When I was torturing myself, the wife & the body guy about the color of our car the body guy finally had enough.....As he put it don't paint it in the "theme of the week" type of way. Keep it simple so you will not end up hating it when the fad passes. What is wrong with an oe color and a vinyl top (if it had one)?

 

[80fbody]

I agree. Solid color & vinyl top. Either pinstriped or tail striped as well. Have those painted on before the clear & never worry about them peeling up while washing, etc

 

[Demonracer]

I agree with ink, a single color on the A bodies really makes them unless it was a vinyl top car. JMO

Car never had a vinyl top that I could tell (seems were to nice and there was no trim) The other thought was solid color with Flat black hood bumble bee stripe

 

[dodge71demon]

I was thinking two tone and this is what I went with on my scamp

 

[johnparts]

So Deep water blue pearl with flat black hood and tail stripe?

this car is not mine, but I keep a picture on my computer because it inspires me. I Love it!!

john remember your building the car for yourself not everybody else and you would have a problem with a vinyl top with no drip rail

 

[mopwr2004a]

solid color base and do your second color with a vinyl wrap that way if you get tired of it you just peel it off

Is your painter Chip Foose?

Is your painter Chip Foose?

No but I want my car to be on his level. I'm doing everything I can to make this the Best car I can build and I want a paint job that sets the car apart from the crowd.

Do what makes you happy, but I believe the above to be true.

I think 1971 A4 Gunmetal Grey Poly would look awesome on yours. Would work well with a blackout treatment if desired as well.

Sort of a greeny/bluey/silvery/grey. Classy and different.

Thats not a bad idea.

My '72 Scamp is Honeydew with a green vinyl roof and two tone green interior. It's different and sure beats the black on black Dart it replaced.

My 68 Dart

I was stuck also between solid or 2 tone paint. in the end I went with 2 tone. Pick what ever makes you happy.

 

[johnparts]

Darren thats a good looking car.

 

[HemiPar]

My thought is if you 2 tone it, do it like Darrens (nice ride Darren). Without vinyl top trim where would you change color? The blue and gray would look good, and different. My car was vinyl top, not 2 tone. I searched the net for pics and decided to keep it.
If you are building your car to sell then keep it one color, and a popular one, so more buyers would like it. If you are not building to sell make it yours. JMO

This is why I want to go two tone. This car looks so good to me

 

[rapidtransitric]

try this john

PPG#924486 then if you want a 2 tone go with a matte black or an ice silver on the tops

here is my 67 cuda, the previous owner painted it this color scheme and I bought it with the intention of changing it but over the years it has really grown on me. The only thing it needs is a pinstripe I think. Colors are all Chrysler colors
