Olympic Gold and Dover White?
 

The paint shop constantly tried to get me to switch colors to something else.

He said Gold and White?? then mumbled something. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

they didn't think there was enough contrast between the plain white and the gold or the colors were too boring? they wanted to throw some blue tint in the white and maybe some metal flake and pearl flip flop in the gold. I would not have minded that but the kid stuck to his guns and the stock factory paint colors, (just applied in a different pattern)

I think it's a good combo.

Contrast! That gold and that white out in the sun will look great! Not too mention the green interior. I'm glad Mike stuck to his guns. Glad yooos guys kept da cah! Contrast yoooou don't need no stinking contrast.

Re: Olympic Gold and Dover White?
 

It worked for HURST.

Re: Olympic Gold and Dover White?
 

Looks great!

Re: Olympic Gold and Dover White?
 

I like too.

Who do the paint shop guys think they are anyway? The customer gets what the customer wants. I am currently doing a 1955 Chevy truck custom with lots of body mods and he wants to paint it Sea Mist Green. I would never paint such a custom truck that original 1955 color, but it is not my truck and he is paying for it.

We need more pix! What are the wheels????

Re: Olympic Gold and Dover White?
 

The pics do look good. The time spent getting the Vette insert to fit was worth it!

I think it would look great with some 14x7 Spyders

Re: Olympic Gold and Dover White?
 

The wheels are still these..... working on getting something better, hopefully some Ansen Sprints.

Buying much more trim than I thought I needed. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img]

Re: Olympic Gold and Dover White?
 

I would LOVE the spyders Paul, but availability is scarce, no?

Re: Olympic Gold and Dover White?
 

Very, very nice looking car. Love the color combination!!!! More pics!

Re: Olympic Gold and Dover White?
 

we removed the body side molding and welded the holes shut so the sides of the car are sparse, what do you think of leaving the fender louvers unpainted ?

Re: Olympic Gold and Dover White?
 

Turned out really sweet!

Re: Olympic Gold and Dover White?
 

I love the color combo! When I painted Dave's motion camaro the classic copper with white stripes it absolutely POPPED!!!!! It was one of the cars people talked about just cuz it was so unusual. I think 200s wheels on the nova would be my choose.

Non SS Novas with the custom exterior package had all chrome gills. SS Novas had body colored gills with a strip of chrome showing on the back edge of each gill.

Or do it the way you like it.

Re: Olympic Gold and Dover White?
 

Mike picked up the car yesterday, it was getting dark when I finally saw it.

I am just amazed how the kid has brought this project around, so much determination and hard work. When I was his age that would have been a waste of beer money.

Re: Olympic Gold and Dover White?
 

Love it, way different and way cool.

More pics please!
