Need some help with a color. I should note, I plan on having he bumpers painted to match, possibly trim too.
a lot depends on the interior color... but...ill tell you this... Plum Crazy draws a ton of attention...!!!
What are you working on, a challenger or a barracuda?
While I respect the bright colors and would own a car so painted if it was original, I'm more into quieter tones these days. My 73 is currently crappy black and primer but was born JA5 Silver Frost and will return to it when the body work is done.
OP...what color was your car originally, interior color and any special options? Keeping it original could help eventual resale.
If you are going to be buried in it I would suggest ChromaFlair mainly because the technology and effect are cool, and my wife was a material scientist on the team that developed it in the 90's. Looks like the Chinese have copied it so it may be less expensive than it was back then. You can make it as mild or wild as you like.

Of the choices specified,
Purple if you're a dude
Pearl white if you're a chick.
:dunno:
Sorry, 72 challenger
White look's good on a challenger! red is good to, but better on a barracuda in my opinion anyway. what color is your interior?
What was it originally?
if you are going custom (non-stock '72 color) go BIG! use a modern (non-retro) color :alan2cents:
It depends on the exterior color. I was thinking black interior would be good for all of them. But, also thought the destroyer grey would look nice with red interior too.

Original is F3, not a green fan
I'm partial to Yellow. I love the black and yellow contrast with a punch. I am not a yellow person, but I do love my challenger color.
If you're not into the bright colors, Purple would probably be what I'd choose for a challenger. If it is a cuda, I always dug Black Cuda's. Something about it looks very agressive. I'm as big of a fan of Black Challengers. Their cool of course but I dig some of the other colors more
I know your not asking for suggestions yet I can't help myself.......
Winchester / Gunmetal would be my preference especially with color on bumper

My vote is for orange, but if you're going the custom route....go for the new Octane red
Did you say a 1972 Challenger???
I would suggest yellow and black!
Your suggestion of destroyer gray with red interior sounds interesting! :bradsthumb:

F-3, fiesta green poly
The ad calls it B2 blue on this 71 Cuda. Not sure if it is the exact correct hue for B2 or not but I think this color is just stunning.
Oh, ok. I wonder if that color came out later than 70-71. Was it by any chance a body side molding car?
In fact it was a side moulding car.
Another modern mopar color vote. As for the classics, Winchester grey is amazing, now I am getting into the B2 color based on the photo above.
Main point, pick a color you love, life is too short not to.
I REALLY like the destroyer grey on the new model mopars. My only concern is, I think I'll be limited to black wheels, bumpers, trim, etc because chrome does not look great against the grey.
I agree. I think destroyer grey is one of those fad colors that will not last long and 5 years from now you will be bored with it.
Winchester grey :twothumbsup:
I'd consider plum or yellow but I would definatly stick to stock colors or at least somewhat period correct... If you ever have to sell I pass instantly if I see modern colors on old iron. Maybe just one of them things that make me "weird" according to my crew at work. Long story and been a long week!
Made the decision, for now... for some reason it clicked the other day. My mom used to have an 06 Jeep Cherokee SRT8 that was Red rock Crystal Pearl. That's going to be my color. Like I said, for now.
Is destroyer grey that colour I see on some vehicles that kind of looks like a glossy primer grey?
top bananna, i am not biased lol

It is.
If your interior is black, go with black vinyl roof, black strobe striping and panther pink

Thats the best I could find regarding 2006 jeep Red rock Crystal Pearl
I chose Deep Water Blue Pearl for mine, and really love it. That is a Challenger color from 2008-2010 (I think). It goes great with the black top and also shows off the chrome well.
Y3 black int black vinyl roof

Everyone knows that yellow cars tend to be faster. :banana: No bias here, either.
If I have a perfect body car and need new paint, my all time favorite is black interior and gloss black exterior. Black makes a muscle car really mean looking. Second will be bright silver exterior and dark burgundy red leather interior for a classy look. In either case, I will keep the chrome bumpers.
My 2 favorite color choices I finialled out were Winchester Grey and B2 Blue
Certain colors look better with a Vinyl top so that was a deciding factor since I didn't want one again.
Colours ,colours.sometimes this can be just so hard to work out .With mopar having so many beautiful colours it's always tough . The only thing I know is that some colours just show off the body lines better then others .good luck decideing on the paint cheers
Just my opinion
The detrouysr grey would look good if it's a pro touring car
The Torred on a stock car with the chrome
The purple very cool but I'm not a fan of painted bumpers on the 72-74 models
Pearl white doesn't look good on vintage cars. Factory white looks nice on any car from 1950-1990
If you go with the red or an orange you can't lose. The high impact colors always look fantastic
It's your car so go with what you want I'm just sharing what I think
looks great, do you have photos of whole car?
:banana: :banana: :banana:
