: body color, i would like your opinions sweet71 May 19th, 01, 10:16 PM I have a 71 Chevelle Malibu that is ready to paint. I think I want to paint the car Laser Red Met. That is the deep red color that is on the new Cougars. The car has a sandlewood interior and the whole car has been smoothed. What color would look AWESOME on this car. I want it to stand out. Big James 4XL May 20th, 01, 4:42 AM Saw a site noted at the Chevy Talk Board that is for showing your car with diffent wheels but it also has an option for colors. May give you some ideas. It may take a while to load but it's worth it. www.afftw.com/viewwheels.htm (http://www.afftw.com/viewwheels.htm) ------------------ Elcaminos are special! I'd rather walk around with a Chevrolet hubcap in my hand than drive a Ford work in progress Big James Elky(AKA Ol Paint) (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/Big%20James4XL-Ol%20Paint1.jpg) www.chevelles.com/showroom/workgoeson1.jpg (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/workgoeson1.jpg) 71LS5 May 21st, 01, 6:16 AM How about Placer Gold? It's a '71 color and is definitely a head-turner. Jimmy P May 21st, 01, 6:44 AM If you want a candy or custom appearance, which it sounds to me you do, definately go with House of Kolor's system. Much better looking than any O.E.M. color choice, IMO. ------------------ Triple Black 69 SS 396 http://albums.photopoint.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=1233564&a=9105086&p=37274567&f=0 [This message has been edited by Jimmy P (edited 05-21-2001).] sweet71 May 21st, 01, 4:07 PM I am now thinking about a bright tangerine orange color with bright white racing stripes. Think that would look good with a sandlewood interior and really stick out? red2rider May 21st, 01, 5:05 PM I would have to paint gold for that interior if it was me. Radar Blue would look good with pearl white stripes to trick it up though. The color I think your talking about is a tricoat system. A bit on the pricy side. Heaven forbid anything bad happened during all those coats going on. red2rider May 21st, 01, 5:11 PM I would have to paint gold for that interior if it was me.

Audi has a new orange pearl that looks bitchin. It almost looks like a burnt orange over a gold base. I'm also somewhat fond of 2000MY VW Cybermist green. http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=1551528&a=11769071 Wes ZZ69chevelle May 25th, 01, 9:50 AM I'm kinda partial to the Med.

It doesn't show too well in the pic though. http://hometown.aol.com/zz69chevelle/myhomepageauto5.html ------------------ Steve Beuth 69 Malibu ZZ4-350 93 Camaro Z28 99 Silverado Chevelle pics (http://hometown.aol.com/zz69chevelle/myhomepageauto2.html) normie May 25th, 01, 10:11 AM Like JimmyP said.. House of Kolor is a good place to start.. Plunk the 40-50 bucks down and buy a chip book.. You'll find more than one color. I promise! THE DUDE May 25th, 01, 2:09 PM Fathom Green with white stripes! Trust the DUDE, chicks will dig it. You could call it the green giant. ------------------ Mark "THE DUDE" Skoch 1971 Malibu (it's gonna be cool someday, really!)
