If you pull the windshield you may see the original color that was protected from the sun. My bet is that if that is the original color it is a faded CC1.
As to what looks best? They can all look great if applied right.
The same guy who will be complaining that he got ripped off after buying a rusted out car like that one on Ebay.
I like restoring classics cars as much as anyone but that car needs absolutely everything replaced. That's probably why it is in the condition it is. It just slowly rots farther away...
Oh Yah, the one I sold mentioned above also came with a complete "Brand New in the Box" Legendary Interior's interior ($2,500). If you subtract that the car really sold for $5,000.
I had a similar car that needed a total restoration. It was a 1968 318 440 hardtop needing quarters , fender and floor pan patches, interior, drive train, etc.... All original but taken apart. I managed to sell it for $7,500. By my guestimate it needed about $25,000 in materials to restore it...
No. If I block the sprayable and find some spots that I missed when using the regular body filler, I would just touch up that spot with the Rage Ultra and then guide coat it and the nearby area and then reblock it. If I feel I need to apply another coat of sprayable polyester to the whole car I...
I usually have in mind what I want for the car. An example is the 68 Coronet I posted here a few weeks back. I wanted $6,000 or better. I posted it as a "Buy it Now" for $8,000 with "Make Offer". A guy offered me $7,500 so I excepted it. I would determine what your bottom mark is and price it a...
First and foremost always read the tech sheet for the product you are using. In the case of the Evercoat Body filler, I always apply epoxy to the bare steel first, however, Evercoat's says their product can be applied to direct metal and a lot of guys do. Either way is acceptable for Evercoat...
A few years back I was thinking about retirement and flirting with the idea of buying something in the south and getting it ready for when I do, (about 15 years from know). Then, a couple guys in the shop I worked at decided to retire. They both bought nice places in Florida to enjoy their...
Evercoat Short Strand Reinforced Fiberglass for any welded joints or high stress areas followed by Evercoat Rage Ultra for basic panel leveling and refining and finally a spray on filler such as Evercoat Feather Fill G2 for filling sand scratches and really fine leveling.
When I list on Ebay, I usually list it as a "Buy It Now" with the "Make Offer Option". I also list it on Craigslist as well. If it sells locally, I just cancel the Ebay listing with the "No Longer Available" for the cancelling reason. Also, include your contact info (phone number) in your add on...
Here ya go. Just in at Vanguard Motors. A 1969 Hemi Charger R/T in Black. You'll have to call them for the asking price. Car is in Like New condition...
Here's an link to TCP Global's color library showing PPG/Ditler's book for that year:

I would just use a single stage satin black like PPG's Defleet Essentials which has a satin sheen.
For sale is a 1968 Dodge Coronet 440 2 door Hardtop. It is an original 318 automatic car. It comes with what I believe to be the original engine and transmission. It has an 8 3/4 rear axle and 4 wheel manual drum brakes. It has new tires, exhaust, shocks, and brakes. The original color is...
If it was mine, I would just clean it the best you can and then spray it with a 2K epoxy primer or just leave it as is. It looks to be just the light surface patina type rust that all 50 year old cars have. Unless you submerge it in the chemical stripping process, you are not going to get rid of...
