Would you paint your car a non-original color?

No sir, what's on the dinner plate lol
I new I should have said something about the beer can. That is Wells from Bedford England. Now the dinner plate. I am not sure. The cheap BBQ is on the picnic table, and I know the place. It is North of Campbell River on the edge of Johnson Straight, but I am not sure what was for dinner.
Shirley is a good cook, and always manages to organize something nice. My job is to keep the Tukvan running, along with all the camping type stuff.
 
Weird, I know but I like pale yellow on mid-year Corvettes. I don't like it on any other cars.

GM Butternut Yellow. Pretty much identical to Chrysler Daffodil Yellow on my R/T

The build sheets I believe are gone along with the fender tag, but I've had my 70 RR since 74 so I know it's an original Torred car. It does have the original drive train including motor so that's why I'm sticking with the Day 2 scheme which is basically how I ran it back in the day.
 
Hell yeah! When F8 is the original color--like a bazillion other puke-green B-Bodies--with matching puke-green vinyl top, you gotta think outside the box! This looks way better, and there's no other Charger like it (roof is black vinyl now): Porsche Jet Green Metallic and Lambo Lime Green stripe. I chose those colors after hours of searching the internet for the exact shades of green I wanted...and the color codes had to be available in Sikkens, that's the only brand of paint my body man uses.

If i were to paint the Satellite, I think black might have the choice. I know engine compartment aand all the other pieces that would need to be painted, but it all could use fresh paint anyway
 
you can paint your car any color you want and if people don’t like it…tough noogies because it isn’t their car.

I repainted my old Roadrunner the original R4 Red because I liked it and it still had the fender tag so I knew how it was optioned.

I do like going to car shows and seeing green, brown, bronze, and pale yellow cars…if every car is a hi impact color, red, B5 blue, bright orange, etc. it doesn’t pop as much. I remember an awful lot of root beer brown, avocado green, and harvest gold cars when I was a kid. (Appliances too!)
