Re: REpainting my 78 vette (HcDave1)
It's your car and you should do what you want to it. In terms of value, that's very debatable and will depend on what type of buyer you have when you go to sell it. If it's done right and looks good/runs good, etc., paint it what you want and enjoy it.
There were 15283 of them that color in 78. Not exactly rare!

As said before, do what makes you happy, especialy if your not planning on selling it.
Mine was originaly Mediam Saddle, but mine is red now. I don't think it hurts value too much unless it is a very rare production # (i.e. Steel Cities Grey, Sunflower Yellow)
