**Well , I am going to bite the bullet & paint both my cars.

1970 Charger RT -------- I am thinking Plum Crazy Purple(Black top with black interior & S&P Cloth insert seat covers., Maybee even GATOR top if $$$ is right).

1970 Roadrunner Convertible ------------ I am leaning towards black (all black) & this car will be a rotissorie.....

Any opinions or combo's before the deed is done...?

Cheers , Jeff

ya, as an owner of a black car it sucks. they never stay clean, and you can see every little scratch in the black. unfortunately it just looks so damn good.

First of all, welcome aboard!
2nd of all Regardless of what I think is the best colour, go with what you think is best.  If you don't you'll be looking at your freshly  finished car thinking that you could've done better. 
Finally, I think you need to provide us with some pics so we know what we're starting with  :icon_smile_cool:
1968 Charger -currently spread all over my garage!

The Charge sound nice but the if the Runner were mine, I'd go with a cliched B5 blue.

The Color Combo's sound good to me, Who do you have planned for doing the work?  :icon_smile_wink: :shruggy: LEON.

I like colors that stand out.  Id go with Top Banana yellow on the 70 RT.

70 RR vert I think I would go with Panther Pink. 

But then again, I am crazy, so dont listen to me.   ;) :D

Well do what your heart tells ya. We can all make suggestions but its up to you in the end. May I suggest going and talking to DS440 on the Photoshop Thread to maybe do you some photoshops of what you want.

Now if I was you, Id paint the 70 Charger exactly the same way you want it and the RR, id say B5 blue

I like the combos that you picked. But then again I'm crazy for Plum Crazy  :D

Way to many Purple cars out there already for my taste, try something different? I am painting mine Mist Turquoise it is a 70 GM (Pontiac) color. It looks much better in person than it does in the picture. Don't be afraid to check out the colors of the Brand X cars, or even something custom from like House of Kolors......if you can afford them! As far as the Roadrunner goes black is a good color because of the cars rounded shape and minimal body lines, seems to me like black hides all of your body lines, but hey that's just my opinion. You wouldn't happen to be in Harrison Township would you?

   **I really do not see that many Plum Crazy 1970 Chargers.. @ least not here in Michigan & I already have 1 Hemi orange 70 Charger RT & 1 Go Mango 70 Charger RT... All 4 Spped cars.  Orange is out of the question & I have definetely decided to stick with purple..

-------As far as the 1970 Roarunner convertible , the only othe color I am considering is 999 Silver... However , I am 99% positive on all black..

Hey Jeff,

I thought you were getting out of the Charger game?.........LOL, did you ever talk with the junkyard about those Chargers. Or were the $2,500 and up prices for $400 scrap heaps to much to deal with. I still need to get with you on some interior stuff.......If I ever come up with any cash that is. Don't be a stranger stop in here more often!

If you're considering silver, check out the silver they used on the Shelby Chargers, that was a nice, rich color. Also, I had a '68 Barracuda convertible many years ago with a black interior. I'd never do a black interior on a convertible again.
