my 67 needs professionally stripping and repainting after the summer.
nice from a distance, but close up its sun-faded (even post T-cut and polish) and starting to bubble in tiny areas which will only grow and get worse.

it was repainted in the mid 80's keeping its original paint code.

but whats the consensus?
go for the original paint code and keep it all original (everything else is on it) - or pick a 'new' period correct colour?

I am in middle of buying a 66, with similar issues and debated the same question, I guess in my mind its whats the outcome ?

If your restoring to sell in the near future I would go original, if it is something to just enjoy for yourself, I would go for whatever you want..love to hear your choices as well....the delta between value returned on original colour and non -original is not enough in my humble opinion, unless your anally retentive...

So go for it

 

Ummm, what color is it now?

Keep Polo Red. Looks better than the weird brown color
