Re: [Chevelle-list] original color or not?

[Chad P.]

Don't get spring green, It looks good in pictures, but I've seen it in person and It looked terrible.  My chevelle was Sequoia green (darkest green on the chevelles), and It was beautiful.  It was the same as forest green in 1970.  Get that color, lol.  If It was me, I would paint the car black with white stripes, or blue with black stripes and black top.   Chad ----- Original Message ----- From: Diane Peppin To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2003 11:01 AM Subject: [Chevelle-list] original color or not? Thank you all for your responses. The interior is green. The transmission is the original 350 until I get a 200R model. I haven't been too concerned about the drive train as it's easy to put that all back together as it came from the factory. The paint is the issue of the decade. I have pondered it for years. Albeit I did sandblast the sea green off it a few years back, and it sits in primer now. All these responses are wonderful. If I had my way I would still paint it an Air Force gray with appropriate markings!. Talk about unique :-) I'm starting to lean toward my first cars color(a 71 Chevy Kingswood in dark green metallic) or the 72 Spring green metallic looks nice. I wish I could stand the sea green, but I really hate it. Of course I got it as a repo in 91 for $250 because I knew someone who owned the bank. I couldn't have cared less if it was barf green with stripes at that price. The biggest downfall is someone went way overboard with rustproofing and even got it on the hood hinges. The sandblaster didn't put much effort to removing it, (said it was impossible) Funny thing is it still flakes off in places. I'll still listen to opinions. You people are all great. I haven't seen Sarge online lately. I'm going back east for a month soon. I'll dwell more on it till I get back. Nice to see there are other women on board here. :-Diane   Chevelle's- not just boy toys ;-)
