Re: [Chevelle-list] to paint original color or not?

I would say you have to live with it. Go with what YOU like. Now,that being said. If there's a purist out there that would like to foot the bill for you I would then consider painting it the original color.<G>   JD ----- Original Message ----- From: Diane Peppin To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 11:49 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] to paint original color or not?  Okay folks;      I'm looking for opinions. My Chevelle is a 72 Malibu 307 from the factory. I have already changed the drums to rotors but other than that its like it was built. I have the numbers matching 307, but right now it has a 400sb built to go fast. That can be replaced with the original. THE QUESTION IS, should I paint it the original Gulf Green Metallic?(which I do not like) or paint it a color I can stomach. I know I answered my own question just now, but I want opinions. I'd like to show it some day, do you lose a lot of points for changing the color? Should I care what others think? ,build it the way I want it?, or try to keep it perfectly kosher with the build sheet?. I'd like allot of opinions, THANKS! :-Diane
