"Remember when I said this car was death proof? Well that wasnt' a lie-this car is 100%death proof- only to get the benefit of it honey you really need to be sitting in my seat"...

mikesbbody

from your choices, id say hemi orange or lime green. Black would be nice, but the car has to be super straight for black  :Twocents:

Charger1973

My 73 will be Top Banana yellow.  Some love it, some hate it, but it will definately stand out!  Do you plan to keep the vinyl top?  If so, what color will it be? 

By the way thats the biggest signature picture I think I have ever seen.   ;)

TUFCAT

I'd paint the dog black - with white ears and tail.  Don't paint the car (or dog) a color that wasn't "factory available" for the year, model, or breed.  :icon_smile_wink:

terrible one


The first thing I would do is DOWNSIZE your signature picture.

And I also say go for a high impact color. . .

Black, white or purple. Third gens are too big for high impact colors.

Why did you choose only these colors would be the first question, second question are you keeping the vinyl top? Third question are you trying to keep the interior the same or tie the interior too the color to the car. :scratchchin:  We all know that every color looks good especially the ones you listed: Really Deep Black, Purple, Blue or Green.  :drool5:  Now we just need to focus on what color will grab anyone's and everyone's attention when you drive bye.  :coolgleamA: Are there any types of blue or any other color that you have taken a 2nd glance at on other cars you have seen? This is what we want from your color on your car to turn heads even if their not into our cars.   :drool5:    :cheers:

I really dont like the green on the car at all.  You need to brighten it up a bit.

Id go back with the original green.
