Please post any pictures of Silver Chargers or give your thoughts to the color

[dspaulding70]

I think I have decided to paint my 70 Charger a silver metallic with black vinyl top and interior.  I would like to see any pictures that are available to make sure I am not making a mistake.  If you have seen a charger in silver, I would be curious of your thoughts on how the color looked on the car.  I am a little concerned that a light colored car will make the already long vehicle seem longer instead of the dark colors that people say makes cars seem a little smaller.

Please help me.  I was not aware that choosing a color for my car would be more difficult than naming my 3 children.......does that say something about my love of my Charger??  My wife is beside herself on my angst in making this decision.......

looks awesome if you have a black vinyl top. all silver might be a bit much.

[gers1968rt]

There are many things to consider about which color to choose. First one is if it is the original color and do you want to keep it original. Second one is if YOU like it. Third, was this color an option for the year car you have. Don't consider anyone else's opinion too much. Gerry

I was looking at this amazing bmw paintjob today outside my shop...liquid silver with just a hint of a purple overlay. Would look amazing on a Charger's curves.

Spike has the only one I know of that's a '70 and it's a factory silver car.  And it's a beauty.

Ghoste is that your old Charger in the Pic? looks nice.

[RT/SE]

If you are not going 100% correct A4 silver, you may want to look at some Mercedes-Benz silver cars.  Silver has been a big color for Mercedes in their models over many, many years.  My parents have a silver 2000 C280 and the factory paint job on the car is very nice.  It is a real nice looking silver.  Everytime I see the car I think the color would look good on a musclecar especially if you are not doing a totally stock type resto.

you simply can't go wrong, In my opinion for a while you keep black top. I like completelly silver, but preffer with top... stripes are a good idea too

I can't go without post couple of 3rd gens

Oh of course, a Rallye and why not a BRAZILIAN Charger...

and another nice Rallye at the end

My Dad had a silver & white '68 back in the day.  We don't have any pictures of it but a couple Christmas' ago I redid a 1/18 scale Bullit Charger to look like his old one.  Here is a link to the pics.

Not done yet, but getting there.

[nakita7]

You asked for opinions..

I personally find silver a very, very boring colour, and it doesn't look good on ANY car, period. Old, new, Mopar or not. My wife just calls them 'grey cars'. Sorry to you guys who love it, but hey, it's just an opinion...

[NMike]

i'm going to put on my Flame suit, so here goes.

Silver is the lamest color out there. at work almost every dam car i touch is silver. i am so sick of that color. it turns my stomach like the dark green or brown cars of  the 70's.

[Starman417]

Hey, no making fun of the Christmas lights!

Yeah, come along way since the primer days...bout 4 years later and I'm almost done.  But we're going to Cancun in March so my hopes of showing it at the Spring Fling are pretty much dashed...do not want to show it until its completely done.  Kinda forces me to get er' done.

  good pictures on that sight    , thanks for sharing   

[Starman417]

Thanks guys....one thing I've learned over the years with this restoration is patience.  I did not have that when I first got it, but learned it quickly.  95% done!  Home stretch baby...

[Forza]

Congrats on the home stretch man. Silver with Black top and black interior, hot damn that's going to be pretty sweet. I'd have to say that combo is one of my favorites, b5 blue & black top/interior still takes 1st 

Be sure to drop some pics when it's done, we're all suckers for eye candy.
