I have narrowed it down to two colors.I like both so which ever color wins the poll is what color I will paint it the car.The car will have rally wheels with black duel hood scoops and maybe a black spoiler a black interior an a black strip,the rest will be the color picked.


Choise 1: Metallic Blue

Is that QQ1 or UU1? I just used QQ1 on my 66 cuda and it looks great... I vote blue.

Here's what I found about Trinity paint get their color chart the color on the web is off.Also if you can find someone that sells PPG Shopline your better off because you can get factory colors.I paid $128 for a gallon of T5 Copper Metallic base coat and $28 for the reducer.I had purchased the Trinity Merlot Metallic in Acrylic Urethane and boy it sure wasn't what I was expecting,I then got their color chip chart the Blue Metallic and the Omaha Orange are alot darker than it shows on their web site.The blue is like the bottom of the cuda pictured
 
I always go for the unusual. I want something that no one else has. When you're at a car show there are tons of blue and red cars... especially red. Most people will choose blue everytime.

Orange!!
 
Bluuuueeee, thats a beautiful color. I think the orange is unique but I believe long term you would appreciated the blue more (not that I know what anyone would appreciate), it will be an eye catcher w/o being audacious and get more compliments from a wider range of people. It is bright!
 
I say blue, but I am a sucker for metallics. I painted my truck in blue metallic from the summit racing line. Turned out beautiful.

this isnt omaha orange or hemi orange, its lighter than that,its brighter naturally when the sun is on it.the guy that painted it has a duster that is like a omaha orange or vit c orange , it looked good.
 
This was a hard decision, the black will have a nice net street MoPar look with the blue, the orange will have a big block muscle car look, I voted Blue.
 
My Duster is Omaha Orange (visual reference)...

Theres a few more in my pictures section if you want to look. I bough the car from the p.o. in this color, and it wasn't my first choice, but it has grown on me since! I will say that black will contrast Very nicely against this Orange. I am thinking about doing the hood blackout because of this. :D
 
While Im normally a blue over orange fan,there is something eye popping about that omaha orange!

And can someone please provide a link for trinity paints?
 
While I really like both colors I voted for blue.Brighter colors like red,orange,and yellow can sometimes attract unwanted attention from the authorities.(Just My opinion). Whichever color you pick, pick the one that really grabs you not just cause it won the poll.You are the one who will have to live with it and drive it around.I was trying to do a survey on what color to paint My engine and several members suggested pink with polka dots if it had scored high in the results do you think I'd be happy with a pink motor?LOL
 
I had a gold '71 years ago. Really liked that color. I am going to stick with the blue because the interior is also blue; less work. Next time I paint it will be gold. Here is a sample of whats called Caribbean Blue. Not a perfect match to B5, but close. Plus It's a metallic,(aluminum flake), and I made it with materials from work. So this is one of a kind.
