Re: Just like the factory, period correct, or owner preference?

I prefer my vehicles as close to original as possible. I didn't think I was going to like my 400 in its original green and white, but liked it once I got all the chrome back on the car. It is probably my training as a train collector (no pun intended) but originality really counts here. A repainted item is only worth about half as much as a decent original. Changing out main components is really frowned upon.
If the paint code is NOT stamped on the vehicle plate, then painting it any of the original colors for that year would seem reasonable.
