I have a 69 malibu. It came from AZ and the paint is dead, no svaing it. Is there a site I can see paint chips of the correct era.

Hugger orange is a sharp color and certainly an eye catcher

I know its not era correct, but BMW has a really nice dark metallic Green... I keep contemplating it for one of my projects.

Yep, Hugger Orange all the way. Rich know's what's up, and Von is excused, he's just color blind, his car is orange at heart ;)

lwop2000,

If you're looking for something a little different have you considered dark purple??? I know it is not a era correct stock color but I do get a lot of compliments on it.

Click the link in my signature below to see a picture of my purple 68.

For the purists out there I'm sorry if it offends you but the car is not stock so I figured why not go all the way. However, my wife's 68 camaro is stock and numbers matching if that helps.

Iwop2000, What's the original paint code? Is it an SS or no?

Soooo many choices. Von, it is a Malibu. the origanl color was champange metalic. Ugly color.

My new question is when did the big rally stripes come out? 70? Garnet red or hugger orange with black rallys is sweet

Von, the original color is champane. it is a malibu. I really like the big rally stripes but they didnt come out until 1970 right?

Leaning toward garnet or hugger. your pic looks sweet.
