Color poll

The Mango will look good with black trim. However, there a couple of things that you might want to consider before using that color. I recently painted a '71 Challenger that color with Dupont Chromabase and it was a pita. :angry7: First off, Dupont doesn't have a formula so your local supplier can mix it, it comes in factory pack only. No big deal except they sell it in pints only and the cost per pint is quite high. Also, it doesn't cover good even when you use the correct shade of sealer. I've forgotten how much it took to do the jambs, engine compartment, and trunk, but it was 6-8 pints. It took another 8 to do the exterior!
I've heard PPG covers better than Dupont but I don't know if they can mix it for you either. I don't want to discourage you if this is the color you want but I thought I should let you know what my experiences were.
That said, I would probably paint it red if it was mine, but not the original shade. There's a mid-90s Chrysler red I really like but I don't remember the name of it right now. I painted a Duster I used to own that color and got more compliments on the paint on that car than I have on any other I've owned. One guy with a '59 Corvette liked it so much he said he was going to paint his car the same color.
I'd post pics of the Challenger and Duster but they are too big and I can never get them resized right.
