I'm painting my Roadrunner in two weeks, after the bodywork is done, what color should I paint it?  All choices are the body color first and then the factory 73 RR stripe cause I like it better than the 74 stripe.

Lime green with black stripe.
18 (42.9%)
Baby blue with white stripe
6 (14.3%)
Grey with black stripe
4 (9.5%)
Metallic gold with black stripe
4 (9.5%)
White with black stripe
10 (23.8%)

Honestly, any high impact color is good.  I do like it.

White with a black or red stripe. I have a 74 RR that was originally red with black stripes. I may go with white and black when the time comes.

Lime green is my favourite colour, on Mopars and in real life, but I wouldn't paint a 73-74 RR in green simply because they didn't come that way. I hate seeing cars painted the wrong year of colour, just bugs me.

I think in regards to painting your car, the sharpest combo for that year is black with a red stripe (yes, the 73, the 74 is a little too Starsky and Hutch for me!). Have you thought about that scheme?

Since you are for sure going with the 71 stripe go with again i will say it ''PETTY BLUE''

Let me throw silver and black into the mix.  This is Silver Frost Metallic, a stock color for 74, and was my second choice for my 73:

Now that I have shown you my second choice, let me say that I highly recommend lime green.  However, on the 73-74 RR, I find that Sassy Grass Green is a little bit nicer looking than Sublime Green.  Both are great colors, but Sassy Grass on the late model RR's is beautiful :yesnod:
