    .....a car's paint (original or redone) in "Pearl White" (9C)? I was wondering how different it is from regular white.
    I have looked at this site 1974 colors but would like to see an actual paint job in Pearl White.
    My car has an avocado interior and I was consider painting my car that off-white color (I really don't think I want the original green/gold exterior.)
    Thanks in advance for any pics :)
    If no pics or info, feel free to let me know what other exterior color would look good with the interior (avocado and seats are striped black/avocado/white) other than green, lol :rolleyes:

    Pearl white sounds good... i'll have to ponder this one for a bit. That green is kinda ...unique. Let's see what someone else has to say:drink:

    Now THAT green looks good! ;) ..........hmmmmm, I think it's lucky for the car that I've decided to leave the interior avocado green! :16suspect
    Pearl white looks good to me.......or what about a color called "medium dark gold metallic" (6M) maybe I'd like to take a look at that too.

    Unless you have tears and rips, I wouldn't try any dyeing or replacing with same colors just yet. Sounds like your having "color" decisions to make in general. Sit back and think of the big picture, the whole car. The color of my carpet and my headliner are what are helping me decide my color, has to go with the seats too. For me it has to all blend and cordinate. So because I needed the interior done, that is where I began to think of my color choices, blab blab blab :D

    You have green, for example, would you consider a white headliner and white carpet? (too clean I know) What condition is your interior in anyway?

    Ok, first thing is.....I want to keep it as original as possible. The interior is alright, but not great.........the back seats are fantastic, the front will need to be reupolstered or replaced......they are pretty bad. The rest of the paint looks good, I took the old headliner out (it was a goner) so if I want to keep the interior avocado green, I'm thinking that I can really can only go with three colors I guess......the same color, or a shade of white, and also black (since all three are in the back seat upholstery (which I really want to keep.) So either black or white headliner and/or carpet?
    That's why I was seriously considering the pearl white, it will go with most any way I do the headliner/carpet.
    Thanks Gene, you've got me thinking too! :)

    How is the dash? You could end up spending big bucks there. I have only seen the dash caps in black. So maybe it's time to think of some black... You have buckets? I've always been a fan of a bench, when it is green, but that's me.
