I was unsure this past fall on colors also. I looked for days at colors. I actually like a Massey Ferguson Orange, but those cars are never orange. I wanted to paint my 65 Belvedere Red, but my boy loves Blue...Thomas the Tank engine Blue more so than any So I started looking into blue colors. I found a Blue that was actually a Chrysler color. So I went that route... Its a pearl, Medium metallic Blue...Actual color is Intense Blue Pearl Coat with alpine white stripe.. Its resembles the Butch Leal's car and the Lady Dragon car somewhat... I also have some custom Gold leaf Plymouth lettering already too.. Just some Idea's.

I'm in the same boat, trying to pick a color. The HOK Burple is high on the wish list. This is a candy that is different depending on base color and number of coats. The test example above is over Gray, the car over White. If you are really leaning toward this, I'd suggest shooting a few test panels with different bases and coats to get exactly what you want. BTW, a few years back I saw an INTENSE dark Blue HOK paintjob. Asked the owner about it and was told it was an Orange (Red+Yellow) base with the Blue candy. Normally, mixing the three primary colors would end up muddy, but it made it very dark yet the highlights were brilliant. Try a bunch of different bases to see the effects.

Well here is a little twist to throw in the mix...Im partially color blind. So two colors could be very different, but look identical to me. I like a darker color for the most part, so I think over a black base will suite me best.
I am doing the "factory" 340 paint scheme with the hood, cowl, tops of doors and fenders painted black, but I am going to do it gloss back and hide the line in the clear as a bit of a twist...
Its funny, I just turned 30 last month and this was my first car, I have had it 14 years. I have had so many years to think about what the perfect color would be, and the anticipation is killing me.... will it be the right color (not that I will know) will other people like it, is it the best fit for the car....and to me its the one thing that I cant redo . I can blow up 20 motors, and I can fix that, but paint.....man once its sprayed....its sprayed
