If your looking for a bold (factory in some years) color then take a look a my El Camino. Its Hugger Orange with Antique White SS stripes and silver running the lenght of the bottem. It really looks clean with the vinyl top. It atracts attention and gets plenty of compliments.

BTW, another personal favorite of mine is a bright (not too bright) blue or a stand out red w/ white stripes.

In the end however it's what you like so have fun deciding.

How about pink with lavender stripes? No?

Everyone thats seen my 68 in person loves the mitsu pearl blue. I love it too.

I wish i had some pics to show you but i don't. i'm painting my malibu blue w/ white stripes.

The color is Dark Cloisonne Met. Poly, it was only available on 94-96 Corvettes. it is a med. blue with a lot of pearl and looks purple in some light.

Chevy has a new color out, I have seen it on some of the 2001 trucks, I think it is called "sunset orange metallic" it looks like it would go real well on vintage chevy muscle. I'd like to use it on my car now that it is ready to paint, but I hate to change the color on a numbers matching car. I don't particularly care for the factory Aztec bronze.
