What Color to Paint Demon? White or Blue?
I appreciate the responses everyone.
My problem is that I don't want to attempt a metallic color as a first paint job, so it wouldn't be GB5 anyway. If I were to paint it blue, I'd have to decide on a solid blue that's close in color to GB5. I'm afraid if I have the paint shop mix GB5 without metallic, it'll be off a shade... heard stories of the metallic flake actually giving the paint its tint.
Good point. I do like the black contrast with this white Demon, one of the very few pictures of a white Demon I could find:
I do also like some of the blue Demons as well.
That's very true... but the reason I'm still considering white, besides the fact that I like the color on an A-body... I think I'm getting to the point where I'd rather enjoy a drivable car on the road than a project in the garage. I'm sure we've all come to that point at one time or another.
My trade-off is: will I appreciate white and its advantages more so than blue with the extra work? I do like blue, but I wouldn't have to do extra engine bay sanding/painting with the white... plus white is more visible on the road and likely easier to fix scratches.
I'd like to drive this car at least 10k miles a year so it won't be show car only but a semi-regular daily driver.
BTW, the interior is black so it's a moot point.
If anyone else has any suggestions, feel free. Thanks!!
