I color changed a car from one shade of blue to another. I was happy with it for the first five years and then slowly came to regret the decision. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) I regret it too.. Because both Betty and I love the color on the car. But it is not the original color, so eventually it will be painted back to the factory color. I color changed my 73 six conversion. It was Delphi Green metallic. But after sitting in a field for years before my friend bought it, the paint had faded to OD green. Two drunks painting it with rattle can black, and twice being hit by 3/4 ton Ford pickups, there wasn't much left of the original color. A full strip and repaint turned him Bahia red, including all the trunks, engine compartment, and floorpans. I am incredibly happy with the color change. But I will admit, I kept one small bolt on part that is still Delphi Green Metallic. It can't be seen, and I will never tell anyone where it is. |
