MAYBE PLUM CRAZY?????

--------------------------------------------
I am hoping to get a lot done on the 38 Plymouth this summer, including choosing a color and shooting the interior for some inside work. I am also heading to Vegas to grab the 5.7 HEMI for the 38 as well.

The car is going to be a driver, nothing radical. I am torn bewteen a old school two tone look, body color one color and fenders black or something odd.

I am new to the ROD scene but want it cool.
with that in mind, what color/ colors, would you choose. Here is the car and then a few pics of 38s???

I have all the parts and the rims that are on it, are NOT staying, they are just to get it around the shop.

I am thinking Cragars or something cool. I also think they need to match the paint.

Dave nothing against the stock two tone look but for my taste I like the orange car better and more of a newer streetrod style, I think it would go better with the new hemi and more of a hi tech look and feel of the car.
I like cars that stand out color wise,
I have plans for pearl orange,candy brandywine,pearl yellow,and candy blue vehicles in the future.
I like 2,4 and 5. myself..... Ron...

nice motor.

I like 2 and 4 myself. I think with a hot rod the color should make a statement, flat paints look cool on 50's style cars. On pre-40 street rods I like simple bright colors, candys are cool (and not simple) but stay away from the chameleon affects from pearls. I also like simple graphics like old school flames, scallops and pinstriping. I dont like "real" flames on most of these rods but I have seen ones that I like as well. I am not a fan of yellows or light greens so I stay away from them. Lots of reds, blues, and even some oranges to work with.

Thanks and I am not asking anyone to pic one of the colors in te pics, just there for reference. I am open to any colors and or ideas

Anything but Curious Yellow.

I would say white always looks good when it's clean. I'm going hot rod black on my Plymouth to begin with.

Bury that paint before it contaminates any other cars.

My 35 sedan was gray with white fenders with black rubber coated running boards and a white roof. I ran aluminum slots and open hood sides. It got lots of attension, most faverable....Gene

This is a taste question, so it has to work for you.
I've grabbed a lot of pictures of 40s over the years, and I prefer darker colors myself. There have been a few lighter ones I've liked, but none that were real bright. I don't like the Black fender look, it seems to cut up the car and look cheap to me.
