Re: IML: Green cars and how to deal with them

["Frederick Joslin" <fljoslin@xxxxxxxx>]

My 69 Coupe is green with a green vinyl roof and a green interior very similar to the car in Detroit.

 

At some point the exterior will be getting re-done. The broadcast sheet calls for a white vinyl roof which is what I wanted to go with anyway. The hub caps have a white center to match the called out roof. I will repaint the car a very close color of green if not original. Maybe a little more metallic.  I am not enamored with the color, but it is original and it is much easier not to change colors.

OK, so YOUR'E the color expert, eh? I'll call you
(and anyone else with a defensible opinion) on that
statement:

I'm facing the same problem on my green coupe, but I'm
not yet committed to a color.



My interior is even nastier - it's 1972 Avocado Green
- you know, the color they were doing appliances and
everything else in that year?

SO, Riddle me this, Batman:
======================================================
>>> What color doesn't clash with a green interior?<<<
======================================================


I don't want to redo my car's interior, and frankly,
I'm finding myself of limited imagination as to what
would work besides stock. Coupes are scarce enough
that beggars can't be choosers, and I'm already
committed to the car at this point.

I am too lazy and cheap after all that I've done so
far.



Options I see:
Bright lime green (can't beat them, so join them)
Stock Green - Ugh.
Semi-Gloss Black - too "hot rod" esqe?
Gloss Black - Kinda conservative?

Silver/aluminum - but that interior is still green.
Paint dash black and install black seats that I have?

I really want the reflections that you see in those
photos at the top, so stock green or black might be
the only way to do that?
