I used to burn the candle at both ends and realized the wick is only so long. You definitley need to slow down and take care of yourself and enjoy life for the little time we have here. Kids and family grow up , grow old way too fast...I can't beleive it's already Dec 2...seems like it was just Labor day...

Mike paint it octane red! I love that color, my dart is ruby red metallic which is a ford color I really like it.

Next to last pic, the bottom green(?). Usually see that on Darts, always looked pretty good on the Coronets,imho.

 

[Brandy]

gold with hot rod black accents.

 

[Chargerjase]

Have you considered copper with a black top? That always looks amazing IMHO.

 

[Torkmnstr]

I’d go green with a black trunk stripe.

I like the Gold on the sample and Red of course but I'm a little biased. My first Coronet was Gold and my current one is Red as you know. What I can say for sure is that whatever color you choose will be enhanced by the prep work you did on the car, It looks great Mike!

Thanks Ken, I really like the reds and maroons now...
Im thinking about just leaving it as is...the body looks flawless in that primer!!!

Next time your at the paint store check out Inferno Red and look at the sample in the sun. I think you will like it. I know it was on a 99 Durango but have seen it on later years on others.

Its a nice color painted a magnum that color. It would look good

 

[1967coronet440]

Octane red with black accents would be a nice choice...

This color has my vote......

 

[Mike67]

Well haven't been around to much lately (my mind has been elsewhere)...progress has been slow but I only have the doors left to block. Then shoot a sealer and pick a color...
Put this out on FB to see what most thought and it looks like majority of people selected the gold....I was kind of suprised,, thought most would go with the red...
Pics are for reference only...beautiful cars!

One thing I didn't mention on FB is that I have never been a fan of red and the two red vehicles I've had, both faded badly. One was base/clear and the other was whatever Mom used in the 60's....acrylic enamel iirc. However, dark burgundy metallic is on my list of likes.
