Show me your paint!
As I am almost finished with the body work on my '73 coup, trying to decide on a color is getting harder and harder. I need some inspiration! Stripes are appreciated as well

I had a horrible time when it came time to finally make the decision.
I recommend playing around with it on paper first, and especially looking at other paint schemes.
Good luck

color choice is so difficult it's hard to give advice, go with what you envisioned how the car should look.
