I just can't decide what COLOR to paint the 68 Road Runner??

[kamstra]

Thinking
Orange
Black
Silver
or a modern theme in pewter with a slighter darker shade for bumpers

or 2 tone orange and silver on top.

What do you think?

Any photos or photo choppers can help me here?

Too common, looks like every other one. You need to do something to make it stand out a little ( or blend in).

I agree
Thats where the 2 tone beige idea and orange silver combo

Bumpers will be fiberglass so either body color, black or silver or?

This, with black bumpers.

I agree. I like that coloUr a lot.

That's quite appealing, but those wheels belong on a Honda!!

I never saw the show but the wheels might be there to clear the brakes

Silver with a black roof.....coooool.

I'd go with the pic beeper*71 posted, but leave the bumpers chrome... or, be sneaky and put fiberglass bumpers on it, which you could paint body color.

I like the wheels, though the diameter is a bit too much.

That's gonna be a race car isn't it? Then paint it white so the contingency decals show up better.

It will definately be on the track, but It may be some time before it will be fast enough.
I really like that dark grey. I saw that build show too.

I also like the rims but not in black. I agree the tires are too narrow.

Anyone can photo chop a orange bottom silver top 68-69 Road Runner?

Fast enough is one of those phrases that really has no meaning, like too much fun. It can always be faster. :beer:

It's a '68-70 B body,racecar/prostreet,,,,sassygrass or limelite w/black hood,bumpers,are alway;s in your face at any track or shopping mall.....you won't see that scheme too often(except for a '63 dodge racecar under construction.....lol) ,being in canada,!.....Ron has decided to paint his 70 executive B body charger limelite,they look good too,even with those huge hips out back.......lol! and he said can the sissy purple!! ...........I do have a real nice '97 chrysler lite pewter mettallic that I spray alot on my brothers dealer lot patchups,,it's actually a metallic beige looking color,,I should have a few insurance pics of the color,,on my hard drive someplace......also have the code for a really nice cherry red mettallic,that doesn't have metal flake look in it,it's a real deep glossy red,it's a base clear,but looks like and sprays like a urethane,as it is loaded with pearl,,,it would be a killer color for a '68 body too.,,but never rule out good old Black!! toughest mopar B body color of em' all! Vit C and EV2 are nice but done to death.

here's the cherry red color sample,it's alot nicer in person w/out the flashbulb.

Fairly crude 3-minute colour change.
