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?

Well, I made a decision on the paint. I was tempted to go with the blue, but basic economics finally swayed me back to using one of the paints I had in stock. Good quality urethane paint goes for well over $100-$150 /gallon. And every dollar that goes into this car is a dollar less into our pockets. Part of the challenge is to build this car on a budget yet still have it well-built and high quality. So, it's going to be a bright red, I would say is very close to Guards Red. The photos do not do it justice, and makes it look kind of orange. But it is VERY red. So far the trunks and engine bay. Maybe do the rest this week. We'll see how it goes.
