    Hey guys, I want to have my '74 four door painted, and I am not going to stick with the Meadowlark Yellow. What color looks good on a four door, in your opinion? I am leaning towards a color, but I wanted to see what you all think. Also, IYO, do I have them apply the pin-stripping? Or do they look better without it?
    I know, so many questions....
    Thanks,
    CommieHook

    I guess it would depend on the color of your interior? I doubt a Black car with a Green interior would look good.

    Yeah, it is the avacado green inside. Maybe a dark green paint?

    My car has Avocado interior, the exterior color is Green Gold Metallic. It changes color depending upon the light.

    Black goes with any color interior...Dark green would be good

    With the green interior.....your color choices are rather limited.

    Can't do: Orange, blue, red, purple, brown, or black in my opinion

    Can do: White, yellow, about any shade of green

    Honestly....I would keep it the same color. Painting inside the trunk, under the hood, and all 4 door jambs can be expensive for a color change.
