<VV> Original color or not?

[Marc Sheridan]

Ron,

My '66 Monza 'vert is Ermine White also and is in the body shop now  for 
a new paint job. I really like color and had always planned on changing 
the color of my car to reflect that. However, I decided to keep the car 
white and introduce color by changing the interior from black to red. I 
may also add some pin striping or graphics to the outside to add more color.

Here are the reasons why I chose to stay with white: it is very 
forgiving of imperfections in the body, white is easier than a dark 
color to get back to looking good after it gets dirty, and least 
important,  it is the original color. Red looks good, but I think it is 
overdone.

I also plan to pick a white from a present day car, so if I have a small 
boo boo to fix, I can go to Autozone and pick up a can of touch up paint 
to fix it. You may want to think about that if you decide to create your 
own color.

Please don't think I'm trying to convince you to keep your car white, 
I'm mostly trying to convince myself that white is the color I want on 
my car :o).
