Howdy all,

I have a '67 Dart GT that I'm doing a quick refresh on. The car was originally white, but in the early 90s was repainted a base/clear light blue, and now it needs new paint.

The car came with a blue interior which it still has and I will keep.

So I have a few options for paint:

1) White, single-stage as it originally was - I could also do a white bc/cc, but haven't decided yet.

I could probably use SPI white epoxy primer for the engine bay and the trunk, which would save me time. The primer is resistant to whatever chemicals it would encounter in the engine bay, like brake fluid for example.

2) Light blue, like it is now - I'm not sure what exact light blue it is; I don't think it's the light blue Dodge offered in '67. I would have to ask one of the previous owners.

But I could just go with the '67 Dodge light blue metallic. This would take extra work since I'd have to paint the engine bay and trunk... the color is obviously not available in primer. I could blue tint trunk splatter paint though.

3) SPI UV-resistant black epoxy - I've been thinking about this option. The car would be a satin black... not quite a flat black but obviously not a glossy black either.

Like the white, I can black epoxy the engine bay and the trunk area. In fact, I already have black epoxy so I could do the trunk this weekend. Barry at SPI said his black epoxy has the UV resistance of a mid-grade, single-stage paint. I could do this for now, then later decide on a different color. I also probably wouldn't need to block sand as much.

4) Any other options that go with a blue interior?

What do you think? What's your input?

Thanks.

Hotwheels heat color changing g paint blue/white with a pearl over coat to protect it.
 
I have owned one of ach OEM original 69 roadrunners, both black, one came with blue other came with green interiors!! not recommended from factory other might argue ma mopar would not ell anyone such, BUT she did. ha
no I do not think they were attractive!!!

I love B3 blue, but blue on blue came be much.. I like white with the blue personally.

some combos a guy just needs to see in person and on particular car.
 
I really like the factory B7 blue which isn't seen nearly as often as B5 and would look great with a white interior.
 
is that SPI epoxy really UV resistant like a top coat of whatever??? just wondering.....

one thing about white, if you do not have flawless bodywork, it does hide a multitude of errors. I have always loved white cars and have had many.

main thing is never judge any color by looking at old paint.

My uncle bought a '67 Dart GT new in late '66. Alas, it had a slant six and auto, but it looked good with the light blue metallic paint (and black vinyl top) and blue interior. My father bought that car from him for $1,000 in '72, and I drove it all through college, when it left the family for $300--wish I had it back!
I agree the blue interior would clash with black. However, my best friend in the early '70s had a '67 GTS with factory-installed 383 and front discs. The car was originally yellow with a black vinyl top and interior, but he had it painted with about 20 coats of black lacquer and very subdued flames on the hood (remember, it was the 70s!) If there was ever a car that would make a painter think twice about black, the slab-sided Dart with the flat hood and trunk lid was it, but this car was absolutely gorgeous. Looking at the door was like looking into a pool of black ink. Lots of good memories in that one, but it was gone for $1,000 when he got married. If only I would have had $1,000!
 
Yep. I was going to say turbine bronze metallic as well as it is by far my favourite color for a 67 Dart. Then I read blue interior, which doesnt work with bronze. I think a factory 67 blue is your only option.......
 
I always pick a factory color,,, sometime from a different close year. just me... but then my cars have 15 inch wheels! ha

It’s been a lot of years since I owned that car but I think I was partial to DD-1 but for some reason I chose a close color in a Cadillac med blue metallic. At night it would almost turn purple. Looked great in the engine compartment I thought.
