Can't a guy get a break????

Scott,
I agree with you  and the others that when selling a vette color and paint become a major issue. I like the Ontario Orange and with todays new paints I think with lots of clear coats it will look deep and nice, but that orange I saw in Carlisle was awesome. I appreciate everyones thoughts. I still dont know which way I am going yet. I have 2 - 3 weeks to decide. Going to bring some paint samples home tomorrow for the wife and daughter to look at.

Scott, Scott, man the last thing he wants is two more women to come between him and his baby What were you thinkin?

Yes I agree with all here ..definitely a tough choice ! If you really liked that color you told me about at Carlisle I would go for it! One choice has to outweigh the other..one has to think what I would enjoy more-the color you chose or a little more money a few years from now? Can't wait to park next to it at Sonic again!

I just got my Vette back about 3 weeks ago from a complete strip and repaint.  The original color was '80 Classic White.  I repainted it 1958 Snowcrest White.  I think it looks great but that's just my opinion.  It really depends on why you are repainting it.  If you're doing it for resale value, then, go with an original color.  But if you're doing it to please yourself, go with your gut.  Good luck.

Its really good to hear how everyone thinks. I still havent made up my mind yet but on Monday the painter is going to shoot an old panel with the Ontario Orange. Then hes going to do some taping of different layers of paper then spray the tangerine remove a section spray again, remove another section then clear coat remove again then just clear coat on the original. He said this will give me a better idea of what the tinted clear will do as each coat will change the color. I am hoping that the tangerine will bring a deep depth to the paint without changing the color to much. Then I will also see what the original is likek with clear coat as well. Then I guess its decision time. I worked on a 68 camaro yesterday that he called the color corvette orange and said it was a factory camaro color in 68. I havent chcked on it yet but that was really nice as well.
Rich, I think its going to be a longgggggg time till I can get this thing to Sonic. I was out Wednesday night and a local guy that was in a corvair used to own a 72 vette and as we talked he said he still had his dist. shielding. I asked if he wanted to sell it and he delivered it today. Would only take $50 for it. I thought that was a steal! Made the trip to Sonic worth whjile although I think his corvair and my vette were the only cars with 8 cyls there! The rest were small foreign cars!
