Paint decision!
My car 78' is being painted Thursday and I still don't know what color I want to paint it, should I go with a dark blue, bright blue or charcoal? Don't say just do what you like because I love them all and I can't choose between them haha thanks!

Jetstream blue looks great regardless of chrome bumpers or not. If you like it better than the 3 original choices go with it.

Here are a couple of better shots at different angles after it got its final wetsand and polish. I kind of wish I had a Baldwin stripe added to it when my buddy painted it.

Ask the body shop to let you look at some paint chips of the newer cars . There are some brilliant colors out there . I personally like the darker blues .
