Re: Paint colour/color opinions

It depends entirely on what you like, and of course what color the interior is. I for one have never been good at looking at a small paint chip and visualizing what the finished car would look like. Looking at other cars is one way, or you could make a sillouette outline and try coloring with various colors. Perhaps Photoshop or some other PC program could do this even better.

There was a 1941 color I very much liked, I believe it was called Saratoga Beige and what made it so attractive is that it was (I think) the only combination in that year that did not have the wheels painted in the body color, the wheels were done in Cimmaron Red and even though only a small portion of wheel showed, I thought it added greatly to the appearance. Though not quite authentic for 23rd series, I think it would look very good. Hope this gives you some ideas.
