My Chevelle was originally Madeira Maroon with White Interior.I love the car, but I was never a fan of the outside color or the interior color.So in the really remote chance I ever become wealthy enough to have a frame off restoration done, would I be going way off base to have black interior with blue outside or is originality the only thing that matters.

Originality is fine if that's what you want but it's not the only game in town. My car is 55 10 paint code. Champagne gold with a white painted top. I keep leaning towards putting a black vinyl top on it. Just can't decide, I'm not worried about originality but I kind of like that my car is different than all the other Chevelles I see.

I agree with the "It's your car, paint it how you want it", and I know I will on my 72 - BUT - if I had a well documented SS, I probably would stick to the original.

What is it with black? I really like black, but it is so hard to keep it clean. And it is one of the colors that shows every single flaw. I know that the guys that are doing the bodywork on my Chevelle are doing a great job, because they are family, and they know how much the car means to me. But, it is still one of those, i'm not sure, colors.

It has been hugger orange for the past 11 years. My kids wanted me to paint it the same color again. About the white stripes, what kind of stripes, there are so many out there?

My documented, matching 72 SS was originally code 68, midnight bronze. Almost up to the day of buying the paint, I planned on painting it that color, although deep down inside I really didn't like it. I changed my mind at the last minute and picked Mulsanne Blue. I'm VERY glad I did it. Personally, I knew that after all those years of working on it, trying to get it perfect, why would I want to paint it a color I could not live with.

Remember, you are picking a color that makes YOU happy, not anybody else.
