What colour should I paint my 69?

[69charger383]

I'm getting my 69 painted next month but I havent decided on a colour or rt stripe colour. I got a few ideas but still..i dont know.

[PocketThunder]

what was the original color?  Green or Bronze?

I vote for Black with a "ghost" clear stripe.

[MOPARHOUND!]

Silver with Red Stripe. 

Black with Red Stripe would be second choice.  Black shows all the little body imperfections, and is a pain to keep clean looking.

Someone on here has a whole website devoted to his Silver 69 R/T nut and bolt $$$ resto.

Light green with a dark green stripe!

Soft spot here for silver Chargers.

I think a decent '69 would look awesome with a dark charcoal grey (but glossy) body, and then paint the vinyl top area flat black.  (And get the bumpers & chrome trim in good shape.) 

IMHO this would look awesome and really bring out the "block of chiseled steel" theme that the original designer was working towards.

paint it the original if it is an R/T or something , if not  i would go with  black with a matt black ghost  stripe .

Hello 69charger383,one of your choices was metallic blue w/ white stripe,did you mean a factory color like B3,B5,or B7 ?I just finished my 69 R/T couple months ago,it is B5 w/white top and white stripe,so here is a pic for you to see what this looks like.This was not on my top choice of colors but because it is a real R/T I decided that I better leave it the original color.I'm not saying that I hate it,I do like,it has nice contrast from the blue to the white,but my ultimate favorite is a tie between T5 copper w/white top and white stripe or triple black stripe delete.Anytime you go with a color that you can do a black interior,makes things that much easier,if you only knew what I went thru with this dark blue interior to get alot of the pieces right on the money.

Hey, 69 OUR/TEA I think your car looks awesome ! :

[Silver R/T]

black with red stripe would be nice

i have been thinking about that mustard color that was a specil order for the charger{according to the 69 registry}  the  last one one the list. i think they painted some 440+6 super bees that color

   It all depends on what color the interior is before I'd make a suggestion...............

Exactly. By the way, black with a red stripe ONLY looks good on 70 Chargers, can't explain why, it just does...

F8 dark metallic green with a white bumble bee stripe-MATT

I don't think changing the color of an R/t is all that bad, it's just paint.

Mine is an all numbers R/t, sitting on a rotiss right now, and I'm not going original color.  JJ gold for '68 was just too ugly.  Everything else on the car is going to be date coded stock, but I just can't do the gold.  I'm leaning to the Turbine Bronze Poly.

T5 Copper was the original colour

[Shakey]

So is it painted yet?

[greenrt_se]

also I was T5, now it is Green

[BronzeOnSteelies]

I love B7 Blue
Not too light, not too dark.

[69 rt]

Go with Q5 not many out there.

A trippel black 69 Thats choise for my 69 i think...

Really? I have never heard that one before.  Here is my 69 black with a red stripe. And I like it better than a 70.

Green man Green 

[69charger383]

nope...cant get us in til early next year and it sucks because its the only paint shop in my town and their also the best in the area.

[Ghoste]

But if they're the only one around, doesn't that mean they're the best... and the worst?   

[COKE]

If i had the  money,i would paint mine Yellow with balck vinyl roof.
Every body love my car actual color except me!
I also have  seen some pictures of Chargers with a couple of Black stripes in the hood,just in the turn signals area.
This looks Great.
I would like to know if this was a factory option or just were custom jobs.

Regards

i actually like that copper color,.. i bet a good modern paint job would make it just dazzle 
funny how many folks ask the question... 
even i'm solliciting ideas for my rides paint..

[41husk]

get some pictures and decide what you like best.  Many people will say black, green, red are what ever there favorite color is.  I doubt anyone will say paint it this color because that is your favorite.  It's your car what color do you want it to be?

[68isgr8]

I agree with MOPARHOUND...silver with red stripe! 

[WheresMyCharger]

69 our/tea, I liked the B5 with white top on my 69 4 speed so much that I painted my '70 Bronze/white top also in B5 so that we had matching his n hers, both with cragar s/s.


Still looking for the 69 to buy it back!!
