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.

Yep, blue on top, silver bottom would be sharp or gold top, black bottom with steel wheels, black in front gold out back.

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. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif) 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 ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif) I raced a M.W. 415 HP two door sedan Belevedere for many years that was the stock 1963 Mopar white ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif) I bought and raced another M.W. Belevdere two door hardtop that was the dark blue like the later cars, it look good also ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shruggy.gif)

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.
