Whenever I get around to tearing mine back down I'm going to paint mine "bare cast". I found it as Engine paint. It's kind of a shinny dark silver.

Satin Copper for the body.......

Dark Satin charcoal for the frame....but rust red and black are always nice too....

 

[maverickmk]

I like that idea. That would be cool.

Flat brewster green and black.

dark satin charcoal gets my vote.

If you got a lot of detail to the frame, Red it screams here I am love me. Just a plain jane frame, Black under states the frame and doesn't take away from the car.

It's powder coat. If you have a local source, ask him about it. They do some neat stuff if they're into "custom" finishes.

You can get vein in almost any color to. I had a mailbox topper that was done in red vein. The vein style is a lot sharper than the single color.

I've got a satin "espresso" going down on the lower half of my car...it's great...nice and dark but not black or grey

 

[Neverdone]

OK well in my opinion there are way too many satin blacks, primer greys, hot rod yellows, and ______ reds.

Pick something different. That is the main reason I left/painted my Dodge army green.

i like shiney myself and am planning for a restricked (spelling) police blue, it is between a baby blue and grabber blue.

Is the body staying primer red? Honestly, I think gloss black looks best with primer red, but other than that, I like the cast iron gray idea. Either that, or white, if you don't mind washing it fairly often!

I am doing my 50 in flat copper with charcoal wheels....would look good there too! [P
