My '74 in Silver Mist. This paint is 20 years old. Old school, 9 coats of lacquer and 3 coats of clear. The stripes are paint, not tape!

These are all beautiful! And it is making my decision so much harder. Makoshark72 your paint is stunning. Very nicely done. I think i would like to do something similar with maybe a silver/ charcoal gray and black. The laguna gray is also a great color.

My interior is all black as I forgot to mention!

Thanks! Best of luck. I must say the choice of color was my hardest decision, once I decided not to go with factory original. It is 1969 Camaro Hugger Orange.

Can't help with a color code, but it is a nice shade of maroon. Pictures make it look lighter, but in person it is deeper.

I think this is my favorite paint I have seen yet. It must make you proud with the amount of head-turns you get!

PPG 704C, Ferrari grigio titanio metallic (titanium), 37032. (Several on the forum have now copied this.)

Stripe is PPG 703C.97, Ferrari canna di fucile (gun metal), 37217
