Color for 69 Valiant

[lawnmower man]

Wanted to paint my 69 Valiant project car orange. But have now purchased a 2011 Challenger Toxic Orange (Mango Tango).
So orange is out. Any suggestions?
Valiant was originally white, but not sure about that.
Any input is appreciated.
Cheers Chris:burnout:

I just ordered a glass six pack hood for the Valiant today, from US Body.
Would like it black too.
So that's in the mix as well.
Thinking black steelies w/ Plymouth Division caps.
Cheers

I like a plain color with that setup too. Here's my picks from a 69' chart.....

 

[68383GTS]

B7 blue,F6 ralley green

 

[OldmanRick]

Should've added silver, this 67' is awesome....

If you stick with white - the black hood will set right off!!!

Green.... With black hood and black steelies. Sounds interesting.

Not my favorite green on that car, but...........

Paint it the original color, whatever that was.

Wait, what's wrong with white?

Winchester Grey- it's a '71 Chrysler color. I love GG1 (dark green metallic) and the Winchester Grey.

I've never liked the idea of a high impact color on a car that was never considered a "muscle car", but thats just my opinion. Mine is a very light grey.

heres pic of six pack scoop black

Okay here's the deal you can't lose no matter what color you paint it. lol... I painted mine rallye red with black scoops. My friend painted his Hemi orange with the six pack scoop and looks great. I don't think it should matter that you already have an orange car. BTW I have black steelie's on mine. Good luck.

 

[lawnmower man]

Thanks for all the input everyone. Greatly appreciated.

Here's mine in F3, it's the original color. It needs paint, but you get the idea.

 

[hemitheus]

with 67-69 valiants you could paint them turd brown and they would look great. Dont paint your turd brown, but you get the point.

Either way, post pics

B7 dark blue, A9 dark grey, white always looks good on those, L1 beige. I also wonder what butterscotch would look like on a Valiant?
