Poll
Question: Which color combo on my 69?
Option 1: white with red stripe
Option 2: blue pearl (2005 GM color)
Option 3: viper red
Title: Help me choose a color for my 69! UPDATE- PAINTED!!!
Post by: garner7555 on December 03, 2014, 11:42:00 PM
I posted this for fun in another thread and that got me to thinking, why not do a poll.

My car is a 318, non numbers matching, pro touring resto-mod type of build.

Thanks in advance for the opinions! :2thumbs:

 :popcrn:    Thanks for the votes and comments guys!  Keep them coming   :2thumbs:

A little back story on the color options:  
WhiteandRed69 car is why i really like the white.  No doubt his car is stunning
1974dodgecharger car (and others from google search) is why I like the blue
on the viper red I have always wanted to paint something this color ever since I saw it in person for the first time

A big plus for the white is the ease of care, I do plan to drive the car alot year round.  (we don't have salty roads)

   I can say this for white, the car stays remarkably cooler in the sun! I'm in FL. and although B5 is totally my favorite color my "for now paint" color was white and I'm starting to think it may be staying white.
   Try touching cars different colors with the palm of your hand, it's a big effect in the south! I noticed dark tinted windows do the same, they block the light but heat the interior like crazy!  :o

Another Vote for a blue of some sort !!! Its looks great on our cars !!

Which GM Blue exactly ? They have a lot

WA815K - would look amazing on a charger, with a black roof, or with out.  And of course a black stripe !
WA403P - To dark in my opinion !

I will say though that sometimes I kinda wish I had more of a high impact color. I love the blue on 1974dodgecharger, dodgey68, MSracing89, and autodynamics cars. But I love the look of a clean white car.  :cheers:

I got a Gallon of Viper Blue from when I Worked at Viper painting place MascoTech. The Vipers are not painted by Chrysler but outsourced. The new Candy Red on the new Vipers will add a additional $10,000 to price tag for that Candy Red. My gallon of Viper Blue available if anybody is Interested, I already sold my gallon of Viper Red years ago. LEON.

Has Chrysler released the paint code yet for Stryker Red (the color of the candy apple red Viper).  I've read a few Viper forums, and they say they can't get it yet.  But, that was a couple years ago when it was discussed.

A gallon of Candy red does not cost $10,000. I never said that. I said $10,000 for the paint job, not the paint. It's all in the labor. I guess you never painted Candy before :scratchchin: LEON.

That's true, red is popular on these cars.  That is one of the many reasons I don't want black, it looks awesome but extremely popular and more difficult to care for.  To be fair blue is also very popular color, not as common as red though.   But again, there is a reason all these colors are popular, they look good.   :2thumbs:

White however is very unconventional, especially to change a charger to white from it's original color.   :shruggy:

I live in rural Alabama and I am not aware of any other chargers close to me, of any color.  So I guess popularity really isn't an issue with me anyway.   :Twocents:

I am only 30 years old so ease of care is important to me over the rest of my lifespan.  I keep thinking how easy it is to sling a buffer over white compared to any darker color (blue).

Still thinking!  :scratchchin:

I'd be up for it, I live a couple of hours away from B'ham.

IF YOU WANT A CUSTOM COLOR FOR CHEAP GO TO WWW.DIPYOURCAR.COM - THEN GO TO THE PEARLS AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN USE THEM WITH PPG OR ANY OTHER BASE CLEAR SYSTEM,  THEY ARE LIKE NO OTHER ON THE MARKET THEY ARE SUPERFINE AND COVER RAPIDLY.  YOU HAVE TO MAKE THEM INTO BASECOAT FIRST.  SO WHAT YOU DO IS GET A SAMPLE PEARL LIKE THE SUPER BLURPLE THEN YOU MIX UP  A PINT USING HALF MIXING CLEAR AND HALF BASECOAT CONVERTER AND ADD THE PEARL IN.  NOW YOU HAVE A SPRAYABLE PEARL BASECOAT THAT YOU CAN CLEARCOAT WIH AUTOMOTIVE CLEAR.  tHE RUBBER DIP PAINT AND CLEARS ARE ALL REALY TOUGH  AND YOU CAN PEL THEM OFF YOUR CAR AND CHANGE COLORS EVERY MONTH IF YOU WANT TO GO THE RUBBER SEMI GLOSS WAY.

BUT IF YOU WANT A STANDARD CUSTOM PEARL JOB JUST MAKE SOME BASECOAT AND DROP IN THE PEARL IT COVERS SO FAST AND FREEZES INTO PLACE ITS AMAZING THEN CLEARCOAT LIKE A STANDARD FACTORY PEARL JOB, AND THESE ARE THE MOST INEXPENSIVE PEARLS OUT THERE. BUY A LITTLE TRY A LITTLE.

Green is out!  I did consider silver very strongly at one time but that too is out now.  When I first got the car (around 20 years ago) the plan was to build a general lee.  Since then alot has changed with the build plan, 4 speed swap, lowered the car and upgraded suspension.   I am adding some modern twist to the car and one of those will be the color.  No offense to the purist, but after being in the auto body business you realize how inferior the colors were back in those days to what is offered now.  Even if I go with white it will not be an original color.  :shruggy:   :Twocents:

Actually it isn't at all.  You should see all the different whites lined up in a paint deck next to each other, some look tan, some yellow, ect. compared to actual white.  And I'm not talking about pearls (tri coats) either.  Seems a little crazy to have so many white options, but I suppose each manufacture want their own exclusive color.  :shruggy:

Those are some wicked looking purple options, and great suggestions, but purple just doesn't do it for me.  Don't get me wrong, if I had a numbers matching car that was originally purple then it would definately stay plum crazy (now I sound like a purist  :smilielol: ).  I think purple can look awesome on our cars, it just isn't one that I would choose.   :shruggy:

Not to belabor the point but trying to understand.  Wouldn't those other "whites" be off whites?  I thought white and black were the only two pure ones and they technically weren't colors?  One was the complete absence of color and the other was all colors in one or something like that?

Yes, in a sense they are "off white".  And practically all white cars are some variant of off white.  Even black isn't black, park a ford truck next to a GM, both black, the ford has a lot more brown in it.  There are no true plain ol black factory colors hardly. That is what I was referring to when I said I wouldn't use the original white used on chargers, I would use a more "true white" than the factory off white.  :yesnod:   :2thumbs:

 depending on what paint company , each one of them have  a base mixing Black & a base mixing white  , as well as many many other tinters  on the mixing scheme , to produce the required color you need  ,
 every paint company's mixing scheme ive used  , for mixing up paint  , the base white , is  real white pure white ,  & all the other whites you mix up on cars are , like what Garner7555 says    , some whites will be  , a blueish , yellowish , grayish , greenish , redish tinge to it ,  compared to the straight pure white of the mixing scheme ,  sames goes for the  Black , the mixing scheme black is black black ,  :yesnod: :P  by the time you mix up a car manufactures paint formula , it could be a blueish , brownish , grayish , yellowish  black when compared to the  mixing black !!

ive mixed  up paint from  , Standox , ICI /Nexia ,PPG , Sikkens  mixing  schemes  ,  the only one I can remember  was a solid ford black , in sikkens 2k auto cryl  system  , i'm trying to think back 22 years , that had a straight 242 tinter black  ,  then they changed formula or was a nother solid black  with a different paint code , & it had a small amount of a light brown & white in it  , it was  negligible  really so , we never use to bother with it & just use to use black straight off the scheme in sikkens auto cryl . the paint was still a perfect match & would paint edge to edge all the time in those blacks.  white noo always had to mix it  , just to complicate  matters ,  on each  paint manufacture  , there would be  many many different tinters to a complete mixing scheme & what line  solid 2 k , 2 stage for base for base & clear  , water base , & high solid ,  there would be a solid black  , a transparent black  , same for blue   , brown  , white , there are soo soo many tinters  & binders , & aditives that go into a paint formula mix ( depending what one your using )  when I use to mix up these paints  , would be rushing around late in the day to get something painted & would think FFS  ,  the paint i'm trying to mix has 6 or 9 different tinters in it  ,  & would seem to take  hours  mixing  , especially if I had to change a tinter , & the color would be  metallic black or silver , blue , would have  red , burgundy  transparent  brown blue , bit of pearl green , or blue  ,  fine & coarse metallic silver  etc    if your in a hurry or run out between coats , would be annoying especially near the end of the day  :RantExplode:  :lol:
the different tinters that go into all these car manufactures colors , i'm sure there is no real need , :lol: it just gives the car designer guys something to invent  ,  strangly  each paint company ive used  ,  use  similar color tinters although , use a different combination of them to produce the same  car manufactures  color  :shruggy: :lol:

also going off track a bit  , there are only a few solvent  tinter colors with a strong enough pigment to be able to use straight out the tin ,   cant remember all of them & it varies from paint company to the next  ,  switched to waterbase in 2000 , & its a different set of tinters with aditives again !

PPG 9700 is pure black & the only tint used in some paint code blacks. LEON.

Post by: superbirdtom on December 17, 2014, 11:01:44 PM
yeah and they never match, straight blacks I mean.   Most new cars blacks have some sort of tint in them. even when formula says straight black with no toners in them , you take freshly painted black door outside in blinding sun and the factory black looks brown compared with it.

I'll vote for pearl white with red tail stripe and interior.

Cool to see someone live close by. I live in small town Alabama, right beside Phenix City. Which itself is right by the GA line close to halfway down the state. Whenever you get done with your car I'd be down for the power tour cruise. :cheers:

Reds are typically more expensive for couple reasons . The pigments that are used in a red can be just plain more expensive to produce , also a metallic red usually does not cover very well and will simply require more product ( paint) to complete the job . Hence inflating the cost .

A tri coat or candy effect as mentioned before will also add addition cost for the same reasons , more so it labour for these effects that really bump up the cost !

I like the satin trend. Plus, you dont have to work it. (cut and buff)
Nobody does that on a Charger. Its all gloss... If I do it again it will be a medium dark pearl blue with a satin clear. Almost like a black pearl only blue.... :drool5:  I can almost see those b-pillars now... :scratchchin:

I used the 1999 Dodge truck Intense Blue Pearlcoat with great results. Lots of compliments after 15 years on the same paint job. One other suggestion is to get your local body shop paint supply store to mix up a spray bomb of two with colours that you might like. Try them out on panels of your car, you're going to sand it down anyway, just to see what they look like. This is what helped my wife decide on her Charger. PB3 is the code.
