Default 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 is like an artists canvas! It is blank uptil the artist puts his soul onto it!
Paint it how you see it! It is your canvas!

I have chosen a color. It is a custom version of Copperhead. I wanted more of an orange/rust tint and we found the right mix. I have also decided that I wanted the hood and deck lid and ledge, painted black, along with the small ledge along the driver/passenger windows in black also. Grumpy is not with my program...what do you guys think?

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."
