An exterior colour change is far more involved than an interior change say going from black to white. If you want to change the exterior colour of the the car, that would involve a lot of disassembly, painting and work. But anyone that ever looks at the cowl tag will be put off right away because the colour is wrong. The biggest colour change I have ever done is a black to white interior....... simply because it is only door panels and seat covers and a few details. Nothing that requires a trip to the body shop.
My experience is only with 69 and 70 chevelles. I have 3 70 SS cars and after a few minutes of conversation with people.... they always ask if they are the correct colour. 1 of my cars is a numbers LS5 M22 autum gold car. Do I like gold cars??? Gotta say no, not one of my favorites but would I change the original colour??? No way... So even if it is not a numbers car, at least the colour is correct..... As much as you may not like the colour, chances are.... someone else will..... just sayin... |

Everyone entitled to their opinion , to my eye all colors at least till GM stopped using lacquer (not sure of the year lacquer last used) but all colors till mid 70’s were awesome from all manufacturers and see no reason to change . Colors that used to be considered undesirable are now the most attractive in many cases .

Durney. You could stick with the original color blue and change the stripe color to white if you like white for the stripes. Then if the next owner wanted the original color back on the car as far as the stripes go, it would be an easy change. I know of an original 71 chevelle that is your blue with white stripes and it is killer!!
