Re: Original GM Colors
Garnet red is a super color, as it changes dramatically with the lighting - be it natural or artificial. The key for G-red is getting the right shade. It looks great with either black or white interiors or stripe colors. It looks mean with XT's and classy with cragars. Sombody pull a pic of the '69 GR Yenko Nova that the SCW restored a few years back.
Ya can't beat it with a stick!

Re: Original GM Colors
Thanks for all the insight guys!
I appreciate the time you all took to post the pics, of some really good looking cars i might add. My car was originally sandalwood, which s somewhat close to gobi beige i think, but i am looking for a different type of color, not sure if i want loud, mean or unique. I do like the garnet red, but im not sure i like the color changes. I am going to leave the car in primer for a while until i can see some cars in real life i think. Up here in maine there are a few shows, but I think i am going to try and hit up the All-GM Nationals in Carlisle PA this June, I've been to their swap meet and the All Fords (with my brother (who has a 1970 Mustang coupe) and dad (2002 Mustang GT). It was definitley a big show and i am sure i can find some colors i like at All GM. Feel free to post any other color suggestions but pictures just dont do paint colors justice IMO. again thanks for the insight guys, i really appreciate it. Plus leaving it in primer will give me some time to save a little money for paint, and I can put a dual exhaust and some other choice items on it, moneys not easy to come by for a high schooler as some of you may know.
