What color should I paint my Challenger?

[DMZ73]

 

I am considering colors for my Challenger - and dare I say, non-original. (Don't hit me with the Mopar rule book please) LOL
My car was originally ew1 - white, with white interior,black vinyl roof.
There's no fun in white, and to be honest, i want to show off the bodywork.
I am thinking about going red, but not ev2 red.

your .02cents would mean a lot. What color would you think would tip the scale?

I dig Ferrari reds for MANY reasons: Rubino Rosso or Rosso Barchetta. Ferrari (blood red) originating from 1956
It has a little orange in it, and a little brown, making it a  far richer color than maroon.

Probably not the best pic, but an OK example.

I also like the new Camaro poppy red.
I  dig the Mopar Butterscotch.
I like the Ford mustang "Gulf" orange (yellow orange)

Black is cool, but too worrisome.
Charcoal grey is nice, but I want a single uniform color, just in case of an (dare I say "accident" )
It's a pain in the neck to respray.

I don't want Green, Blue or purple. Sublime is the only way to go green, but in my opinion it looks better on the 70 & 71. I guess all of the hi impact colors work best on those years for a reason..

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Best,

Here's a nice deep red... I like solid red...



Something a little brighter

One of the reds on the new Chargers is very nice. I think it's PR4 or PR5 Performance red.
I have a gallon of basecoat that I've been saving for a future project. I bought it to paint my 69 Daytona clone but then decided to keep the car black. I'm still kind of wishing that I had painted it red.
There are several reds that are very clean looking. My suggestion to you is to do a sprayout panel before committing to a color. I always do a spray out panel for my customers and have them sign it. I've had situations where they chose a color and then didn't like it once they saw it on the car. That won't happen again.
My 71 Cuda is Tornado red which is a Porsche color. Not too bright...not too dark.

I think black, but the red from 56 is jus perfect but done to death . on the other hand mopars baby ka ka was cool to, all easy match or blend .

I painted a buddys Duster Viper red and it really stands out,it would be my choice for a red.

I like butterscotch with some black accents.
If I had a stripped car I'd go that way.
Here are a couple of pics, not Challengers but the colour.
Another really cool colour was one I saw only once on a friends Hemi Cuda up here, it's a gold/green really cool love it, can't remember the name but one of my favs.

Why not the same color orange as in your signature

Deep blue

Mines still in its original color GK6 dark Autumn Bronze and I really like it. I also have owned a B5 Blue and a Winchester Grey one. There are too many B5 blues out there for my taste now, but I did like the grey.

Butterscotch! you don't see many Challengers in that color, the ones you do, look amazing.

[N96cuda]

Hard to go wrong with red, but I would go butterscotch. Looks good and you don't see yourself coming and going, even at a Mopar show.

Butterscoth seems to be in the lead.
I like it!!

I feel a photshop coming on.....STAY TUNED!!!!!!

Tonight, a battle of COLORS!!!!!
Your vote counts!

I like Butterscotch too. However, have you maybe considered doing a B5 Blue or something?
