I thought about a Pepto Bismo comercial. To each His/Her own.
Heck my brother in law had a '79 Chevy pickup that color. It was a good conversation piece at the least.

For Ruthie, you know the difference between RGB and CYMK mode? (Don't worry, I used to work for Polaroid electronic imaging for quite a few years. I still remember my Photoshop though).
OH!!! I converted it to CMYK so I could dump the yellow channel and turn it to PINK! I did not know that it had to be RGB.

Thanks so much, I did learn somthing today.

I'm not so sure about all the CMYK and RGB stuff, but I could do it in a BC/CC format and have it on the streets in a week.

rgb = red green blue, pic made up of those primary colors by mixing them denoted by a hexadecimal numer: R=0, G=0, B=0 (#000000)= black
R=255, G=255, B=255 (#ffffff) =white

cmyk is cyan magenta yellow and kara (black) mainly used for printing (ever see the dots in a color print??) also the reason why color printers use 4 colors, it's a mixing percentage here that gives a color.

Be interesting what sidepipes would look like on that...even black ones maybe.
Now if it was a good looking woman driving that...and she said she did the resto herself...well I"d have to put a ring on that finger

It was painted that color when he bought it. The guy he bought it from had it painted that color for a girlfriend then she dumped him.

Now my 78 is not pink, its pearl white, but couple of weekends ago my daughter and I were out cruising and we past by a group of about 5 little girls all about 4 to 6 years old. We heard the one with the biggest smile say, " Look Mommy, it's a Barbie Car ! "

Put a smile on our faces, got to love kids, they have such good taste
in cars.
