Default My 67 got new color today

The car has been a several year project but finally had a color change today. Still have to get all the parts back on but hope that within a week or two it will be back on the road. Here is some pictures of the progress of the project.

I did like the yellow color, it was painted that color back in 1978. The original color was Goodwood Green. I struggled between going back original or changing to a color I like. Since the car is a driver and not being judged, I went blue with a 67 BB hood.
I have a brand new set of BFG Radial T/A's on 8" Rally Rims that will get mounted this week.

Zoomin, the color is called Indigo Ink Pearl with a paint code of (8P4). It took me a while to decide on the color. I was torn between the newer Chevy color Crystal Red, Goodwood Green and this blue. The wife thought I was nuts for agonizing of the color but I knew it was a once in my lifetime choice. I am happy with the choice...

Default Paint Color

Currently in the process of painting my car and I’m looking for a silver color for my big block hood scoop. Like the silver color you used – what is the silver color?

Your '67 will stand out from all the other "predictable" (yawn) factory colors at Corvette shows and meets.

Your car, your color, looks fantastic. That's almost the same blue I painted my 66 the first time, 30 years ago.

Default Great job

Great color and the motor looks outstanding. Lots of hard work must have gone into the car. Congrats on a beautiful car. Greg
