    Great car. Would look good in just about any color. Gold or flat gold would look awesome. Pick up a gallon of single stage enamel and be done with it. By the time you buy all the rattle cans each year you could have had a low maintenance single stage paint job.

    Love the car anyway. Post some pictures with your final paint job.......

    I like the black look!
    but...... if you want to add some color;
    why not consider just adding scallops.

    Here are a few ideas.
    Hope you like 'em!

    If you get hot rod magazine and you know the factory five roadster they did, I think that kind of flat black to black gloss is pretty cool. Put some pinstriping here and there.

    Nice Photo shops Gary C!

    I'd pick one of the Scallops Gary did and go with that for a season, Silver or Gray would also look cool.
