Paint color choice
Hello fellow members, I am at the point where I need to choose the color to paint my 74.
I am not going original, so my options are wide open.
As of now I am leaning towards a dark blue, I have seen pics of Hap Stern's and think it looks nice.
I would appreciate your opinions and pics would be great!
Again it is a 1974 coupe with 1978 style rims and fiberglass covered side pipes.
I appreciate your input.

Chiming in.....
My reply serves two purposes. One to give you a color choice. And two, to investigate a color choice for myself. But I have no intentions on invading your post, M8eixguy. I am up for some paint on my '73 and the Orig. paint code is 945/Blue Green. Can anyone show me a Blue Green painted Vette please.
And of course, if it looks cool....uh, go with Blue Green

No, I appreciate it Michigan. The more pics I get to see with different colors the better.
My interior is black, so any color will work.
Some really nice looking vettes.
bob7876, what color blue is the first vette you posted?

My car's blue so I take this as another chance to post photos of it.
Here's the one I took as inspiration:
Good luck! Choosing a paint colour was the hardest thing I've ever done to my car.
