Hot Rods What is the best color for a Roadster??

Post pictures of your favorite paint or primer on a 30-31 or 32' Roadster. I need some help with mine! To many colors to chose from and it's killing me! I like blues and golds, you?

This is one of mine

 

anything BUT Purple or Pink

 

RED always RED.... Boyd Red....

 

If that is your roadster you don't need any help. Perfect!

 

Black......Black.....Black

 

Pink and purple two tone, hands down.

 

Resale red.

 

HEY...you got something against purple buster???

anything but bright red, bright yellow or any pastel color.

 

im partial to black with flames on those things, but red works, tan......solid dark blue single stage.
dark olive green single.........copper.........

skull

 

Flat black with red and white pinstriping.

 

I like Olive green myself, but then, my car's just an old sedan with the roof cut off...

 

If you are doing a '40's style car, in the '40's the original paint may have been still good or acceptable with just a same color reshoot so if you know what the original color was on the particular body, that may be the best for that car.
Any "real" hot rodder would have spent paint money on going faster!
That means any '32 or older fendered Ford car would have Black fenders too!

 

I've always liked Washington Blue...

 

Dover Grey 1939 Ford color I think

 

any colour except genital pink! stance is more important than colour, but colour can enhance stance.

 

flat gold, or copper.

 

Washington blue, why didn't I think of that one?
Yeah, that's it, washingon blue.
Seriously.

 

Looks to me like he already has a Washington Blue roadster, or a close color cousin.

 

The dark blue you see on Mercedes or Audis.

 

I have been kind of partial to earth tones on 30s cars browns, tans etc. It gives them a simple and sinister look and it sets you apart from the bright billet cars.

 

Yep, Black Black Black

 

oxblood !!

 

I wanted to do a blood red ( oxblood ) for my inside. I love it too!

The blue roadster is not mine just one I liked..

 

oxblood with antique brown leather is badass!!!! but it's my favorite color interior too. I will put that in my shoebox someday.

 

Then Washington Blue with a blood red interior....kinda a no brainer once you type it out huh?

 

Yes Washington Blue is super nice! At least the blue I have seen. There is a post called Washington Blue from about a year ago. with coupe picture that is super nice! I need to find that one and contact the guy with it.
