Need help with color!!

[malibu_adam]

I am painting my car (first time doing a whole car by myself) and I need some help...

I cant choose the color. I finished all the body work- shaved rain gutters, sidemarkers, etc) and the paint I mixed didn't cut it. It was a gunmetal, but It looked to factory and I think the car needs something a little more custom.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

1. Car is a 1970 Dodge Dart with an LS6/Nitrous setup.

2. Interior is black

3. Engine bay is painted viper red, I thought that was the color I was going to go with about 2 years ago (I painted it when I swapped the motor and don't want to pull it back out) So Im hoping I could find a color that would go with that. Any cool gunmetal metallic colors you guys know about?

4. I wont have any chrome. Bumpers and grill are getting painted as well... all moldings have been removed.

I always liked the dark gray gunmetal finish that looks more like lighter black similar to last years Tundra TRD edition or the lighter gunmetal light gray on the Mercedes C63

Just plastidip it, costs less and you can easily redo it if you get tired of it.

Faded red that looks more orange now, with peeling black vinyl on the roof.

Oh wait, that was my ‘74 Dart.

Yup, plus you can do cool things like color shifting paint without it costing hilarious amounts.

Yeah, I am a sucker for the crazy classic colors they put on Mopars back in the day. Plum crazy, sublime, panther pink, etc.
So sick of today's silver, white and black cars.

When it comes to classic muscle I'm a dyed in the wool Chevy guy. Gimme an orange blown 454 over anything else.


But a purple Road Runner with that crazy spoiler or any 'Cuda...well I'm not ashamed to say I'd be happy for life with one of those. As long as it was plum crazy!

Looks brighter than what I had in mind, but what do I know. I'm colorblind.

Another vote for dark gunmetal here.
When you pop the hood and that red engine bay pops out...!
