I agree on black but alot of people seem to like the bright colors. This is my first black vehicle and it is a pain to keep clean, But looks exceptional when clean. That red looks really sharp to. I have had a hemi orange 95 ram and a dodge ram yellow truck (other brand) so I went black on this one and have no regrets!! Doesnt matter what color you paint it as mopars are just cool any color.

I'd reverse the colors....Blue on to/silver bottom....or a Dodge truck graphite grey on top/with silver bottom.

I assume blue interior? I would put the lighter color high,does`nt show dust as easy,won`t show scratches as easy either. Also will be slightly cooler in sun. Of the cars I`ve done darker bottom/lighter top always looks good.

I like the stock white, like on your top, on 1963 Plymouth I raced a M.W. 415 HP two door sedan Belevedere for many years that was the stock 1963 Mopar white I bought and raced another M.W. Belevdere two door hardtop that was the dark blue like the later cars, it look good also

I also like the o'll school look. So I went with Candy-Apple red with micro gold metal flakes over a shimming silver base coat.
