I'm soon going to paint this car. I'd like to use the DuPont Chromabase I already have, and am leaning toward a bright red that is very close to the stock 76 Scarlet Red. The second choice is a yellow, similar to Chrome or Sunflower yellow. But I'd like to know what you all think I should paint it. What is most popular? I listed out colors that were available for 1976. The original was Anacona Blue. If you were buying this car what color would you want?

You can always paint to order or let the buyer do it himself. A wild color can be a turn off....ask me how I know.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

Paint to order would be a great idea if we already had a buyer who put down a deposit. As it stands now we have no commited buyer and the final sales price is to be determined. We want this to be a finished car when done so the trunks, engine compartment, etc. are all painted. We don't want to assemble the car in primer. I agree - no wild paint jobs. But the original blue, or a few of the other stock colors including black would be good sellers. The body work on this car willbe one of its selling points so it needs a great paint job to show it off. I do all the body and paint work in my own shop.
