[75dartsport]

purple
black
silver
white is nice

think you should try petty blue though

[Ghoste]

Bet you're glad you asked this question huh?

[tan top]

look awesome in any color ......    .... what do i consider the best .... what ever code is on the fender tag 

[duo-stripe]

i would go for the color mentioned on the fendertag..the factory original color that is..
but i can imagine not everyone agrees with that..

   thats true  

I have this charger and it's a dull blue? 

looks nice in that color ..looks like B3 original paint  ..would look awesome , done in base & clear 

[WingCharger]

I like the Dull-Blue myself.

[69CoronetRT]

I really like EE1. Too bad this one is in the shade.

[PocketThunder]

What color is it coded for Pete?   

[ran396]

i like jj1 gold

[suntech]

I like WHITE, when done right, with wheels, interior, stance etc

[Belgium R/T -68]

I think I vote for sublime green, I can't imagine why.

[timinator]

Black looks sinister.

If I did another 68 I have it in Medium Green Poly (TT-1) with a black vinyl top and Magnum 500s.

[Big Lebowski]

  Freshly painted B3 is awesome, go with what you got. And of course, a new black vinyl top is the way to go.

[kingjoop]

dunno what color code this is, but i saw this car during Mopars at the Strip in Las Vegas.. and i just LOVE IT!!

[Sinister68]

Hmmm, I vote metallic black, metallic green, or metallic blue.   

[69*F5*SE]

I like it the way it is especially if it's the original color. Get it repainted in base/clear and it'll look amazing. 

[69bronzeT5]

BLACK

I also like silver and bronze.

[kingjoop]

black makes the blonds look better i think 

[Chris G.]

My kinda answer. 

[Sublime/Sixpack]

The existing color combo looks good, especially with the interior being blue.  New paint and vinyl roof would make it look real sharp. 

But to answer your question for a '68; I'd say Black, Silver, Light Met. Blue, or Aqua.

[suntech]

black makes the blonds look better i think 

Hehe, guess i need to get a dark haired one to pose with my car, when done then

[John_Kunkel]

To me, MM1 Bronze Metalic just looks "right" on the '68.

[BB1]

Black There is no other color that comes close. 

Don't kid yourself, this thread is now closed.

Oh my god.....  BLACK ALL THE WAY,,,,, 

[Khyron]

CITRON YELLA!!!!!!!!!!!1

[68coronetGLwannabe]

Hemi Orange?   

[G-man]

General LEE! 

Dont know... Black with a blue flake so when the sun hits it gets a dark blue glow yet black at night time... that may look cool.

[66monaco]

BLACK!

[FJ6N96]

B5 blue looks great on that body style.

[petercharger]

thanks for the color question...going to paint it the stock color which is UU1....wonder how close that is to b5 blue...doing a clone daytona in that color...

[Charger-Bodie]

UU1 is way lighter than B5 and QQ1......UU1 is like B3.

[jaak]

I like SS1 "Yellow", especially with a black vinyl top and bumblebee stripe!

Jason

[BronzeOnSteelies]

Fender tag aside, I would go black vinyl roof, black bumblebee stripe on white.

[fc7_plumcrazy]

Hi,

my favorite choices for a 68 are QQ1, LL1 and EE1

Carsten

[triple_green]

What!!!!! No one chose green......

I second the observation the the new base/clear paints are awesome!!!

triple_green.

[RECHRGD]

[WINGR]

Even though there are many great colors for a 1968 Dodge I agree that it makes since to keep the original color, especially when it is a nice blue color. I like the B5 better but then again the factory color looks pretty cool. Beside once repainted it will look awesome.

Good Luck,

WINGR

[Ghoste]

Likely a stupid question, but have you tried polishing up the "dull" blue that you have?  The shade itself looks nice in the pic you posted.

[68charger383]

I'm with him on keeping it blue.....B3 or B5

I was going to convert my interior to black, but decided to keep it blue, glad I did.

Make your car a Christine Charger Clone (but with a blue inerior)

[ChargerSG]

Black
Dark burnt orange

[petercharger]

car was a one owner family of farmers who owned it since new and did try polishing it out...i believe the last time it got a coat of was was............about 20 years ago....thanks for all your input

[Troy]

You've got the build sheet - I'd make it stock. Blues look great on 68 Chargers. Light blue is also incredibly easy to keep looking clean (compared to black and white especially). Other colors I like are dark blue, bright blue, and black with that nice blue interior. White would really set it off.

looks nice & original inside  ......

[Brock Samson]

  I like that stock blue color ALOT! why change it?.. repainted and the few details fixed like a new carpet and loseing the back speakers under the package tray and adding a fresh V. top and you gotta winner.. and when folks go Wow! is that original you can say "yup"...
and I'd like to see even more pics of you beautiful charger if you please... 

[Chatt69chgr]

The triple black car is very hard to beat.  And red is always a good choice for a muscle car.  I also like the yellow with the bumblebee stripes.  Kind of think that the 68 and 69 yellow is a little pale.  But the 70 bananna is a little too intense (but OK for the superbee).  If you went yellow, warming it up slightly would make a real nice looker. 

In the end, you need to make it the color that you like because if you don't really like it you will never really be happy with it.  There is certainly nothing wrong with the blue's mentioned.  And your interior already looks good so you won't have to spend money changing that-----you can spend it on your next project.

[bill440rt]

I've ALWAYS liked that pale yellow color like on RECHRGD's car. Looks beautiful on a Charger set off by a black top & stripe.
2nd choice: turquoise, white top/interior/stripe.

And, oh yeah, RED!!!!

[skip68]

B-5 blue baby. 

[Dans 68]

B-5 blue baby. 

That would be B5 to CB, but QQ1 to you. You should know better, Chuck.... 

Dan

[skip68]

   My bad. 

[BronzeOnSteelies]

petercharger, I do not know if your stock color is 68 only but here is a photo of a 69 in the sun that looks close.

I liked the color alot.

[Gotta 68]

dunno what color code this is, but i saw this car during Mopars at the Strip in Las Vegas.. and i just LOVE IT!!

My vote is the same as KJ's(KingJoop)!  Besides, he knows the two little hot rods!  My car has a custom color, but that information is on another thread.  So, you could say my opinion is biased.  It appears you have the build sheet, fender tag, and more importantly a nice complete car.  My vote is to keep the color of your car the original color it came in from the factory unless you truly detest it.  I think that shade of blue is extremely nice!  See the above photo for proof! 

[Paul w]

I love B3 it is a rare color to I am fed up with seeing BLACK GREEN or RED cars Blue is the one 

[tipopiola]

My '68 is PP1 red, but I actually prefer the GG1 dark green metallic.  I know it's not everyones favorite, but that actually makes it better in my book.  I gotta agree with some of the other folks here.  That light blue would look great if it wasn't so sun baked and faded.

[aone415]

MM1 Bronze

[Manfred318]

Ill say JJ1. With a black top You just dont see that many of them that colour. I also like blues and greens as well.
