    What colors do you like.
    Do you like solid colors or metallics/pearls
    Do you want to paint it a single color or two tone???
    These are things you need to decide when you pick a color.
    Look through the galleries, see what appeals to you...

    I am partial to the Grabber colors, mine is Grabber Green (1970 paint code Z). Just seems to go with these cars really well.

    I like the solid colors on these cars. Grabber Green and Grabber Blue being my favs.

    As Henry Ford would say you can have any color you want as long as its black.! Just a thought.

    If you really want to grab attetion... 5 to 6 differant colors. The hood one color the doors another, the side panels a differant one, ect...

    Or go with something bold, something powerful... like canary yellow

    Never thought I would be tempted to go silver but search for Chirt's car, it's a very eye grabbing combo.

    My 1970 just came out of paint-- here is the update- I say dont be afraid of color with Maverick-- they can hold their own against the muscle cars. Now getting ready to add lots of chrome, the hood scoop and some satin black strips...

    I guess, it could all depend upon the color of your interior.....

    I dig purple but that's just me. Grabber blue is cool too.

    And this is fantastic, i can't wait to see the end result, this Maverick is going to stick out like a million bucks.

    Man do i love seeing a Maverick or any other car when it is freshly painted, the paint is as new as it can get on a car. Very cool picture. [​IMG]
