    White looks ok but needs a little contrast colour to give it a lift IMO. btw Haven't seen you round lately Fitzee, you been pretty busy? Are you back workin on your Fleetline?

    you guys are funny.. Not at my fleetline now for awhile.. had to move my shop and just plain busy. tired of not having a driver so picked up a 51 deluxe that is a nice little driver but need to be cleaned up. its green and Im not a lover of green.. plan is to not go overboard with it and just keep the body stock. I liking white or should I say off white.the creams, plan is to maybe pin strip it a bit but not going crazy with colors..seen this car and it seems to be doing it for me..

    Harley-Davidson has a beautiful satin white pearl finish available on their bikes this year. I love how that looks, might wanna check it out in person.

    This is a photo shop that was done on here of my 52 when I was looking at colors to paint it. Still thinking about it. If you have a picture of your car post it on the Photo Shop thread here the guys doing it are great.

    This color is awesome
    White is nice but doesn't show chrome well.
    Whitewalls also are slightly unnoticeable .

    I would like this car to be suttle and simple. Its not chopped and dont want to get into that.I already have a fleetline for the wild stuff. for as long as I can remember a stock body car looks very smart lowered and in white. wants a classic clean look

    Not quite a chev but close enough? I like the white for a change too and it does bring out the chrome/stainless.

    At least lace the roof lol come on live a little ...then chop a hole in hood haha ok you can do boring white ...wait til I get my 52 and I will show you wild .there will be more flake and lace than Ed Roth has ever seen . Honestly it's a personal preference and it's your car . You should do what ever you want . Ok maybe some pinstripes :)
