Something that isn't gloss black because thats what colour mine is
Anything not metallic. Something bright without being really stand-outish. Blood red?

Looks awesome as it is man!! I like it, do small dents and scratches stick out badly though?

dents arent major aye, im just a bit of a perfectionist i geuss
i think it does need a respray though coz its got quite a few chips and scratches around the car and its not the thickest coat (can see undercoat in places when suns on it)

i like gunmeatl grey/silver, looks very smart on oldskool cars, if the paint is done well and the panelbeating is good

as above, metallic silver is always smart lookin, hides dents best too
metallics > flat

silver is the easiest colour to keep clean/polish, but black (like bmw black) ftw for sexyness

Dark silver ftw. Not quite normal silver, but not quite gunmetal grey either.
Only thing I find with silver on older cars, it tends to make the chrome blend in, it always looks better if it stands out a bit more.

I reakon that black looks mint on it.
IMO silver is more a modern colour.

white, white white!! only colour i would paint my car (apart from the red of my sr). oldschool cars look MINT with a nice white paintjob. only problem though is you're going from black to white, obviously a black respay over black would be real easy.
