    There is a copper metalflake that is a shade darker than the original brown poly that looks good. I have a friend that has a 56 Ford pickup painted that color and it's sharp. I like the orange and some shades of blue, too. Medium to dark blue is good, don't care for sky or baby blue too much myself.

    That would explain the 7 posts in 3 years :rofl2:

    Both hugger orange and the medditerranean blue sound good and the blue would be a little unique ... brown is near the bottom of my car color choices.

    It would look great in that color; but the Mediterranean blue reminds me of my grandmothers old 1969 chevy Nova that she used to pick me up in when I was little. The old mav reminds me of that car when I look at it.. Two completely different cars tho i know.. but the same in many ways ..
