if you notice that the primer is buckling, no biggy its just gonna get sanded down again. I used polyester primer on it, ( basicly sprayable bondo )

You should do pearl white, but that's just my opinion.

if you have a dupont store near you, go to it. They have every color you could dream of getting.

And for color, that car would look awsome painted crome with flat black parts ( Mirrors, rims, possibly hood)

Or a fire engine red.

Thats just my opinion

Lookin good. I think this is the best "retored" car I've ever seen. I suggest you paint this gunmetal, I always loved that colour... But one question, what did you do with the other body?

:o ... that is awsome. That is a really great restoration job. Gunmetal and pearl white are good colors. Hope the paint turns out as well as the car.

Great job! It was a mess when you first got it. I would shoot for pearl white on it, gunmetal is cool too. What about a 2 tone of them?

Xmodracer has got a point a two tone might look good. Maybe some racing stripes. I don't know that car will still look awsome.

Two tone sounds great, but not with those colours. Try gunmetal and black or red. You can also try white and blue.

Nah, a two tone is more of a tuner look. I want this to be one straight color

^^+1, tuners and trucks mainly have 2 tones, you may want to go with a pinstriping.
