That is stunning. Although I was never a fan of the golds growing up, I absolutely love them now and that OG is sublime.

Isn't it strange how our taste in colors change as we get older? When I was in my early twenties I had a Forest green 1970 Z28. I wasn't a huge fan of the color; in fact, a few people commented how ugly the color was.

Now I think it is one of the better colors for those cars and would kill to have my old car back.

That’s a lot like me. Never would have thought I’d own a Gold car when I was younger, but now I love my OG/Dover White 69 and so many people seem drawn to it as well. Maybe because it’s different or maybe it just seems mature and classy.

Base coat/clear coat makes those colors like OG, frost green, and Burnished brown jump out. The clear gives the color depth that old laquer on it's best day couldn't. Plus the UV rays killed what ever shine those colors had in the 1st couple of years.
