What is a good body color for a car that has Silver deluxe interior? it was repainted a while ago pearl silver, but i think I want to repaint eventually. i am redoing the interior in the original plush/leather silver.

Thanks for you input!! |saluteflag|

Color combos are such a matter of personal taste, but since you asked - silver would be a natural first choice in my book. A medium blue like Bridgehampton Blue would look pretty sharp also as would Steel Cities Gray. I'm not sure if a darker blue, black, or maroon would work so well, too much of a contrast for me. As much as I like a RED Vette, I don't think a silver interior would look too good either. Good luck making a choice!

Any other opinions?

If you are wanting the colors for your year, a 74, the body colrs for silver interior are, classic white, silver mist, corvette gray, corvette med. blue, dark green, bright yellow, dark brown, medium red, mille miglia red, and corvette orange. This is what I found in the Corvette Black Book. Most of these colors I wouldnt agree, but I personally think a dark blue would look good | SAVE THE WAVE |wavey|

I have to agree with Silver73, a nice medium to dark Blue would really make the Silver interior stand out. Or you could always paint it Black and Silver like the 78 Pace Car. That is one of the best combinations ever! Let us know what you decide.

If you want the original color, try looking at the tim tag (I believe it should be on the driver's side inside the door sill. There should be a code or, rather a set of codes that indicate what the interior and exterior colors are supposed to be. Hope this helps!

As last boy said the colors are on the driver's side of the car on the frame where the the door meets under the windshield edge. the first number is your car and the second is the interior. If you don't know what they mean then you can go to 1974corvettereigistry.com and find out or in the silver anniversary book. we have it and I could look in it for you. I also agree black and silver is great |cheers|
