I recently wrote a blog on a Pink Mist 1968 chrome-bumper GTO (The Rarest GTO you may have never wanted )
that asked whether its rarity, color and chrome bumper would persuade
or dissuade you from buying it. Some responders said that they liked the
pink and would retain the color. Others said they didn't and would just
repaint it in another hue. A few more opined that they would never
repaint it another color even if they didn't like it because it's the
main reason the GTO is so rare. That discussion prompted a similar
subject for this blog that's probably more relevant to you and me.
Unless we ordered our vintage ride brand new, we have little choice
over the color and options come purchase time decades later. I'm sure
many of us have crossed paths with cars that we really wanted and were
great deals. Though we may not have been overly enamored with their
colors, we bought them anyway. Then we had to decide whether or not to
change the color.
Truth be told, the "correct" answer for you depends on numerous variables. Here are a few considerations and opinions.
When it's time to repaint a classic car...
