Painting car what color ahhh! and why...

Original color is wayyy easier. And will look more like quality restoration type approach.

Unless you have it on a rotisserie or lift, with nothing on the car underside, with the interior and engine out, and can paint whole car inside and out.

Looks pretty funky to have an orange or blue exterior (what ever) and gold under-chassis and random places where it is still gold, is all I am saying .

If I were only going to paint the exterior and engine bay, I would definitely go original color.
