Color Question Nepal Orange or Creamsicle Options

[barada]

Ok guys,
I have a 74 914 that has been painted Black. It was originally ivory and I am torn with doing a color I want or go back factory and build a Creamsicle Clone.
I am a big fan of Nepal Orange and understand the extra work needed for a full color change.
So what do you think Semi Original Clone or Nepal Orange.
Attached is the car that will be the test.

Brent/bembry has a nice 73 2L in L80E with the same Beige (tan) interior that McMark recently did rusto & repaint, along with a 2056 & few other things. Here's a pic & McMark has more on his Original Customs website (just click the bannerhead when it comes up).

Mine was & will be L80E/Beige too, but it's nowhere near done. While I prefer metallic blues on 914s tops personally, I've come to like the L80E Light Ivory (white) with the Beige interior. I found that the ultimate value suffers when color changed, and I'd done 2 in the 76/80 (Copper & Anthracite in the avatar), and the dealer &/or OO/PO did 2 before me in 72-75 (Sahara Beige & Gold) - so it's not like I averse to it - but that was then & this is now when they're collectors & gaining ever more value.

You're only talking adding some Phoenix Red (orange) to L80E at the side-stripes, rockers, valances, bumpers & wheels' centers - so why go the extra bit for that - just keep it white per original. No option to vote above, but that's my HO! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
