Color Combo question
My '68 Charger is KK1. Ugly, dust covered red now, but it's going back to that color. I'm not a fan of high impact colors on them, either. It bothers me, probably because in my head, I know it never happened that way. I also hate seeing hood scoops on them. I think it detracts from the hood, roof and grille lines. It sits in my stomach like a '50's car that has had all of the chrome parts painted and stainless deleted.
Anyway, the '68 318's were the more green-ish tirquoise Chrysler blue, which looks nice. '67 was orange.
I'd go with the gloss tirquoise/ '68 Chrysler corp blue on the entire engine and do the air cleaner wrinkle black.
This is an example of the color, when done up with factory components (albeit this is a Chris Craft boat, but it's a great example of how the color looks against factory gear.)
It's difficult to see on the screen, but it's very contrasting, even against UU1 light metallic blue or LL1/KK1 metallic teal/ tirquoise.
You would think that it has too much similarity, but it's very correct looking and the engine color has more brown in it than either UU1 or the KK1. It's very mellow and doesn't scream performance, but it looks as right as hammertone finish on an old file cabinet or swingline stapler.
With an aluminum pie tin that had black/ orange callouts, on a wrinkle black cleaner, the '68 Chrysler blue would look killer, IMO.
