I can't decide between these two colors for my 69 camaro -

I am leaning towards the red, but just can't make my mind up.

Here are pics of the car currently in DP90:

can't go wrong w/ either one. i think this is one of those things you need to decide for yourself...

I agree with ^^^^ too, but I will say this. I have an almost black Silverado truck & it shows every little mark like a neon light. I like both, personally I would go with the red.

Between the two, I'd go with red. Overall I'd rather go with something a little less popular, like orange, silver, possibly yellow. Something a little different than what everyone else is doing

Red, because there really aren't enough red 69's out there already.

Black if you can keep it clean and scratch free.

But for practical purposes: Red

Once youv'e had black, you wont go back..:lmao:
Seriously though.. Black when it is clean is hard to beat.
But be ready for it to be dusty in two days if it is left outside.
I have had far more black cars then red, but I have had red when i was younger. Last 68 camaro was black, and am currently driving a black VW. Painting my current 68 camaro BLUE. Go figgure.
But like everyone has said, and I will say it. You will not be happy until YOU make the decision whatever that decision may be.

I have had two black cars....way too much work to maintain. Never again. Go with red. Hot car, hot color.

I originally did my car in Candy Red but it was a hack job. Decided to go black in hopes to forget the bad experience... Both look awesome, also considered 350Z blue. If you cant decide do both. Red with black stripes or vice versa... I really like that red color it is a little different than the norm.

Are black and red the only colors to choose from???

If so, i pick BLUE...

If you paint it black or red, it will just be ANOTHER black or red 69 camaro....

How about gold like chryssos's car?

Why not do a two tone if it's hard to decide.

If the bodywork is perfect do black. If not then do red you wont see as many waves/imperfections

I say if the car is way tough... paint it pink. When you are that tough. You don't care what others think. You don't see people messing with the boy named Sue do you? LOL Joke. ok, paint it resell red then. Black cars are too much maintenance. JMO.

nothing better looking than a clean black car. Nothing worse than a dirty black car. I would look at that orange also. We are looking at that red for my son's mustang. My other son is on the fence Red or Black on his 78 T/A.
