okay guys and gals help me pick a color. what are yalls thoughts. i know my favorite is and i know what my wife likes. whats yalls thoughts? im open to different ideas also.

as it sits now..

here are the colors i have played with....

[kencombs]

I vote for the 'rust', because it's closest to MY favorite color, RED.

GM had a color in the 50's - 60's called Honduras maroon. Try that one and see if you like it.

[Young Ed]

I kinda like the turqouise(sp?).

[Robin (UK)]

The greenish blue looks great.

Your 3rd and 4th mock-ups get my vote.

Here's a color-adjusted picture.

[Guest 57plymouth]

4th from the top.

[woodscavenger]

The rust/orange looks awesome!

[48mirage]

The rust color (personal bias, see my profile) or go all the way and get the Hemi Orange.

I like the "as it is now". Second choice would be a nice plaid but you did not have that as an option.

[eric wissing]

I like the way it is now, especially the tone. I guess I am a purest. Do what ever you like but when I see them metalic or something too flashy it doesn't seem right. Eric

I like one of the aquamarines. I also like the yellow, but unless you want a taxi, the yellow has to be the right color.

Here is a link to the actual color chips for 54's. San Diego Gold is the closest to yellow on the grid, lotsa blues and greens.

There is only one choice of color for the car and interior that the car should be done in. That's the color you want and like the best. You'll be the one driving and getting the most fun out of it. Not your wife, me or any of the other guys, so our choice would be irrelevant. So......what ever color and style of interior you pick is the right one. If you listen to your wife or one of us and do it a different way, you'll never be completely happy with it.

[John Burke]

Orange

[Reg Evans]

San Pedro Blue which may be the color it is now.

p-24,

What program did you use to do that color changing? I have several (Corel, Photoshop) that I've never taken the time to learn, and maybe now's the time.

The color sent by Robin is probably closest to an original shade.

Someone mentioned honsuras maroon....this is close.

Here's an original gold-ish yellow 54 model.

A green combo.

This one is pretty sharp with maroon and white top.

A nice dark green.

[BobT-47P15]

Some more examples.

Nice blue.

Light blue.

[RobertKB]

I like fourth from the top (darker turquoise) but you gotta paint it what you want. Your original colour is nice also but I just feel the darker colours like the fourth choice show off the curves these old girls have to advantage. I have always liked the colour of my P24 and as it is original paint I don't plan on changing it anyway. If I did, that darker turquoise would be at the top of the list.

[p24-1953]

Light blue.

we think that this was the original color, but it was repainted and the new color is badly faded and scuffed from being stored in a barn w/ animals

[Alexander]

my pick is 4th from the top blueish/green. It screams classic 50's

I also like the yellow/gold color posted by one member

[51 Fargo]

Myself I like the burgandy with white top

[Normspeed]

I like #5, turquoise. I'm thinking Nash Metropolitan Turquoise.

Maroon and white looks good too.
