Hey guys, I'm just looking for your opinions on colors for a 65 Chevelle convertible. Im stuck between a bright red or a medium blue metallic. The convertible top and interior are going to be black. The chassis is black. The engine is full polish aluminum. It's getting painted top,bottom and engine compartment all body color. Im not really looking for a specific color suggestion, although those are welcome too, but just red or blue. Thanks for your opinions

Mine is a Lexus blue, not the IS-F blue though, and I love it. Click my build thread to see it. My wife's new Lexus RX is a beautiful metallic red that really pops in the sun, check it out if you have a dealer near you. It's called Matador Red.
My vote is blue.

Black
probably my favorite color for most cars, but I just don't think it goes that great on a 65 chevelle

So, I take it your not going to tell us what color it is? It really pops in the sun.

Ha Ha I was going to keep it a secret for a while, but I guess I'll spill the beans. It is Porsche Aqua Blue Metallic. Thanks for all the comments!

Great color for the body lines on that year. You're going to be very happy once the car is completely put back to together. Nice job!

It was light grey, but there are about 5 coats of color so none of the primer shows through.

Here are a few more. Doors are on it now. You can see where I hid the a/c lines and wiper motor.
