What is a nice 69 roadrunner color

[Deanfitz27]

Hey guys I'm starting the restoration on my 69 roadrunner, I'm going body color underneath, so really want to pick a nice color. I'm going with black vinyl roof and interior. Anyone have any suggestions/pics? I am considering code 97. I do not have the fender tag and unsure of the original color code.

Hi, Take a look at A4 Platinum Silver. did a 69 in that color a few years ago and it looked awesome.

My personal fav was always Vitamin C, but i now have a B5 Blue (blue fire metallic) car and it has really grown on me.

Yeah I like vitamin c as well, but there are a few that color in my direct area, I'm trying to find something a little different, b5 is awesome as well but also common here. Thanks

Mine is R4 and it looks really good in that color. Probably why it's so common too. I saw what appears to be a Bahama yellow (butterscotch?) car and it also looks good.

A4 silver or TX9 black are my favorites!!

Come on, the floor pan or something should tell you the original color. Y2 Yellow is a quintessential timeless muscle color. Especially with the black accents. Easy to keep clean too.

What was the original color of the car? This is what I am painting my next one - if I ever do another restoration.

All excellent suggestions

And do yourself a favor and check out MoparBill's A4 car at his resto thread. It's beautiful.

Another very nice color that's also not common at all but is stunning is the turquoise

Yeah I have to agree a4 does look good. I know the original color was a red, but don't know the code. I like the impact colors as well but there are not many for 69 , they are mostly in 70. Thanks everyone

yeah I was going to say the Q5 Seafoam Turquoise Poly is a great color too, I like the 68 LL1 Surf Turquoise Metallic too, but I'm a little Biased, my current 68 RR will be re-painted it original LL1 color....

I wish I knew for sure, but would guess it is T5 tweaked with some more orange.

 

[Budnicks]

Jamacia Blue is a cool color too, not all that common, the T5 & T7 Bronzes are cool too

 

[Dennis H]

Another plug for Sunfire.

 

[eagleone1983]

This is T5 not tweaked with anything. Used PPG omni line of paint.

I am having the same thoughts currently myself. My car is originally F5 green. I really do like the F5 green since its kind of a sleeper color but the silver really looks good. I feel my VIN tag keeps subliminally telling me to keep it the original F5 though. Its a tough decision!
