Harold,
Can you post a picture of the paint tag? You can always look in out of the way places (under carpet, rocker panels, fuel door hinge) to get an idea of what the color used to be. |

Jelly bean colors look great on longhoods.
If my car didn't have a perfect coat of silver on it, I think it would end up either Gulf Orange or Viper Green. Last edited by Dantilla; 06-21-2007 at 08:24 PM.. |

422 would have been some type of brown.
0xx = Reds 1xx = Yellows 2xx = Greens 3xx = Blues 4xx = Browns 5xx = Beiges 6xx = Grays 7xx = Blacks 9xx = Silver/Whites My favorites for Longhood Targas are Irish Green and Burgundy.

IMHO, in this order of preference, tangerine, beige grey, signal orange or irish green. Looking at those color pictures really started me thinking about a 70's coupe.....

I'd go for original color though if you're going that far.
