Best color for a 72 hot rod wide body monster?
Have a 72 project 911 with a 3.8, steel flares and a 6 speed box.
Now the hard part...I am usually a black on black or slate gray type of guy. However I am thinking 72 special order and 73rs controversial color "chartreuse " Just seems right on the car.....thoughts????
I like Aubergine too but have alredy speent two years developing a custom set of gauges with NOHO with Chartreuse hash marks. I figured I could go white or silver and still use the gauges. Reality is I had it painted Charturuse but I have switched builders and we want to restrip the shell and start over so my only limiting factor is the gauges. Below is my orignal color concept which I photoshopped a white singer car just to test the color scheme. Also the car in color which will get stripped soon.

Well, you know color is such a personal thing... now is this different or the same one I've seen a few inprogress pics? Because I kinda like the color it was.
For me, something a little more subtle than the neon colors, I do like aubergine, the classic silvers always look great, Albert blue... Acid blue (74 IROC color) or for something really subtle but could be awesome with a matched interior.... Sahara beige.

Acid blue, signal yellow, tangerine and leaf green are at the top of my list. I went for Tangerine because it was the original color of my car. For a hot rod, go bright!
