I did not play follow-the-leader when I pick the
color for my 71 Chevelle. One thing that I did that helped me pick the color
for my car was to purchase the two colors I liked. I painted a fender, half
with one color and half with the other. I noticed that one of the colors
showed off the lines and curses better than the other. You should purchase a
pint of some colors and try them. Picking a color is a big decision and a lot
of work has to be done to make the car look good.
Do not paint until you know for
sure.

Subject: [Chevelle-List] paint
I have a 1964 300 2 door; all original,
that i am just starting to get into.
It needs paint and that where I have chosen to
begin. The original color was fawn, inside and out. I have not
seen any chevelles repainted that color and it seems to me that it would be
a waste of time because you really can't see the car with this
color.
So I am leaning towards going over to that
chevelle blue that has always caught my eye. I could always see those
blue chevelles coming. After a little investigating I am seeing that
there are three colors in this tone of blue in 1964. A dark aqua
(lagoon aqua), a medium aqua (aqua aqua) and a medium blue (silver
blue). From what i can gather, I cannot determine which is the color
that i want.
Is there someone who has an opinion that might
help me sort this out. When I see the paint on a car there is no
mistake, even in some pictures. Is there a more popular blue for the
chevelle ?
