paint color for top and fenders

[Danny]

I hate painting,I can never decide what color to go with...But, something must be chosen.. What colors go with gloss woody sides? Dark green,gloss black,deep burgundy..leaning towards black now..suggestions?

[absolutsnwbrdr]

Burgundy or green sounds good! Black will show every bit of dirt (or chip in the paint)

I do a lot of driving on dirt roads, and I just had to repaint my fenders. They were pretty chipped up. I just used one of the Rustoleum "hammered" textured spray paint. Should be good for another year or so.

what color is your tow vehicle?

[nevadatear]

I vote for dark green or burgundy. Oh yeah, that's right, my woody has green fenders and trim, and purple highlights. Guess that is why I like either green or burgundy!

If you camp summers,go light.There will be a lot of difference in heat buildup.If winter camping a dark color to absorb heat may be better.

Deep burgundy or paint to match the tow vehicle.

[Shadow Catcher]

I will go with light color on top, cool inside out weighs cool outside, and do not match tow vehicle, they change.

Neck Danny just flip a coin heads green and tails burgundy. Or if all else fails paint it white.

I like some of the 50's period colors...search the web for sample color charts for ideas...here is one for a 57 chev.

Those 57 chevy colors are COOL, unfortunately, I do not have a 57 nomad or 2 door no post..So, if you have been following the build over in the build journals ,the colors I decided on are, dark hunter green for the body and,gloss black for all the trim,etc..figure you can't go wrong with dark hunter green..
