Is any color OK?
 

So is it OK to paint your car any color. Or do you have to stay within the actual colors for the year of your Chevelle?

It's perfectly ok to paint your car any color you desire,as long as it's black.:D

I say paint it any color you want...that's what I would do. If somehow I was awarded a full-paint as a gift or a raffle:D, I would paint my car hugger orange or grecian green, both with white stripes. Neither of those were offered in 1972.

Its ok to paint it any color. As long as its the one I choose :)

Now Grumpy , you know better than that . My wifes 72 Malibu vert was originally a dark brown metalic color (nice color), but a bronze color when we got it. She told me it was her car and her color which turned out to be GM fire red metalic with white top and interior. All I can say is she done a great job picking colors as it turned out great.

When I buy a Chevelle, I always consider what color it was originally based on what is on the trim tag.
I usually return the car to that color.
The only exception was on my '70...originally #50 Gobi Beige but I did paint it the 1970 #10 Classic White.
And my '69 SS, presently in Daytona yellow :(, will be returning to it's original color... Dover White.

Personally, I prefer to have it the color on the trim tag. However, it's your car, do what you like. I think what bothers me more is schemes that were not available. For example, '68-'69 cars with '70-'72 D88 stripes, or GSX stripes on a non-GSX car, W-30 stripes on a non-W-30 car, etc. Again, that's my opinion. I refer back to "it's your car, do what YOU like."

Our originally was pewter. Just not a color either of us liked.

I follow the "paint it however you want" rule. :)

Mine's a 95 Corvette color.

Ya, paint it any color you want, but when the resto police come knocking don't say I didn't warn you. :)

I get tired of seeing red, black, and silver Chevelles. They look great but it's nice to see something different too.
