Black seems to have become the new Red (or blue/white).  For the first time that I can recall, we've got three black cars in the shop, none with stripes. |

Oh no - I'm becoming lost in a crowd. It may in part have to do with the cost of red paints. I started out red but gravitated back to black. My wife actually seemed a bit relieved. I think she thought the red a bit flashy.  |

What is the real name of the color? Beige sounds kind of pedestrian. Reminds me of the old 64/65 Plymouth Belvedere sedans that use to run around in the 60s with 426street wedges and 4 speeds. I'm sure its really a metallic, clear coated snazzy named tint.  |

That's basically it - except most I ran across had street wedges w/o hood scoops. If I could have bought one in and around Kansas City in the 60s, I could have bought a half dozen.  |

Finally pulled my car home from the warehouse where I painted it and got it out from under the flourescent lights and out in some natural sunlight. I found one little ripple and a couple areas of remaining light orange peel that will need a little more attention but overall it look pretty good. It's only been compounded after color sanding with a wool pad. I still have a lot of buffing to do and I still have the door, trunk and hood jambs polish out. Finally I'm about to the point I can start assembly. It's about time.
