This one's for you Ferg!!
Apparently I'm in the minority, but I love the pure 70's look of our gold metallic color. Unfortunately my car had a Maaco respray that wasn't very gold and wasn't very metallic. I took care of that this year by getting my car repainted by Mark Israel at Eurotech Bodywerkes. Today was the first time I washed it since getting the car back and got lucky with a sunny day, so I finally got around to taking some good pics of the car. I thought I might get a better reception from this crowd than I get from my wife. |

Of course everyone thinks you're crazy when you tell them you're painting the car gold, but when you see it in the sunlight it's really amazing. It's almost like one of those color shifting paint jobs. Sometimes more yellow and sometimes more mustard. Occasionally it takes on a weird green'ish tint.
When I was taking deliver the painter came over to me and said "dude, when I heard you wanted to paint this gold, I thought Why?, but now that I see it I totally love it". It's definitely a love or hate color, not much middle ground. |
