Thanks guys, glad you all like the car. We were worried that the color wouldn't be right, but when we saw it finally painted, we knew it was the right choice.

I as well like the choice of colour and the look of the car in general.

Well from one of the hold outs on RED, my dad wanted to paint it red, because he painted everything red that he painted and when he bought a new vehicle it was usually red, I just had to say no to red for me (I really like red BTW).

If I was having someone paint my car professionally it would probably go back to Prairie Bronze but because I am going to do it in the shed/outside(ish) no metallic for me and will be Grey. Maybe some day in the far future I will have it painted professionally, but then again Pops will tell you I will most likely will never do that, he is probably right My second choice after the Bronze would be Silver metallic most likely followed by British Racing Green.

See Ya,
Mike

Guilty as charged, Cardinal red aka Candy apple red on the non black sheep side of the family. I also had a Rangoon red 65 Cali I flipped way back in the 80's. And now getting ready to build a Apple Red Meyers Manx. Resale red. Uh, I guess I'll leave my wife's hair color out of this, yeah she's red too.
