I had a 70 challenger that was suppose to be sublime but it had been painted alpine white before I got it and I left it that way.

Remind us - what car are you painting?  Cuda =  sublime; Challenger = white.

Sublime  :2thumbs:
Alpine White  :sleeping:

Sublime Metallic sounds interesting though.

I really considered painting my car with the lime green on the late model Charger Daytonas. It is metallic with what looks like a pearl coat.

White :thinkerg:With a black vinyl top or even a white vinyl top, now that would be kind of cool.  Actually Alpine white i think is an awesome look, don't see too many of them, but there are plenty sublime cars out there.  :2cents:

Might not be the right year, but here's white with a white top.  The problem is that white Challengers are often associated with Vanishing point, which could be good or bad depending if you want the Vanishing Point look. 

BTW, not to go off topic, not mine, but this car is for sale.  Saw this pic in CL today.

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

The one I had was white with a black vynyl top and black interior that used to be white.  It was really cool and I loved to drive it.  Would not mind to have another one some day.

I built a white '71 a few years back.  I was very sharp especially since it had a B5 blue interior.  It actulally ended up in Volo Car Museum for a year or so  :bigsmile:
