what about silver with red interior?




Silverglaze metallic

 



Now this looks sharp. Definitely something different but works well. My vote is for silver also. I've been hooked on this Honda color for over two years now. It's called Silver Pearl Metallic. It's like a champaign color you would expect from 'House Of Colors" but the cost would be much less because it's a OEM color.

It first caught my eye on a really sunny day, the pearl and metallic of this color look amayzing. I've only seen it on the Honda Odyssey but don't dismiss it. Keep an eye out for these vans in this color and you'll see what I mean. It would also be a nice two tone color because it would compliment just about any other color.

Here's a video of heavily modified 2 tone 67 Nova. It shows how nice a pearl metallic can look.

you will regret painting your car with a single stage paint if you choose to keep it. base clear is the way to go best shine lasts longer easier for touchups and repairs.Single stage paints offer little to no workability during and after its applied.Urethane paints will fade away like acrylic enamel.any color will look great on that fine lookin car of yours!

thumbsup.gifthumbsup.gif  Great choice!  I must also say that I like the silverglaze metallic color as well.  Still partial towards the GG.

I love the danube blue too if she's perfectly straight, or the Aztec bronze. Just not a gold guy. My 66 SS396 is originally gold and I can't talk myself into it yet, but I am liking these gold cars shown here, nice !
Mine is supposed to be gold with a fawn interior, and the 66 Camino is originally the same color how wierd is that ?
Whats the original color for the Acadian?

Elroy, I was the same. I hated gold, inside or out. A certain 67 SD 396 car has totally changed my mind. So much in fact that my 67 Nova SS is gold interior and I wouldn't think of changing the colour when I restore it.
