  1. Chrome the windshield frame and stanchions. Believe it, it'll make a difference in your color choice.

    I've always wanted a plaid car...maybe a slammed down custom with a plaid flaked roof.

    I think open cars should be a lighter color, no metallics, all one color. It's a mater of taste.

    I guess I’m tired of the suede thing. HRP’s “beater” with paint weathered over many decades is cool to me - new suede not so much. (Again, just my opinion)
    If this were me, it would be shiny black. Or black fenders with a blue or green body so dark that you have to look twice to realize it’s not all black.
    But it’s all about the style, era, and vibe of the car. If it makes the owner grin every time he see’s it, that’s all that matters. What everyone else thinks is irrelevant.

  13. Here is a Model A I did in the 70's. It is a 60's Ford color "Royal Maroon". It looks more red in this picture, but depending on the light it go's to a dark maroon (no metallic).
