change my 78 ta color

<< < (2/2)

b_hill_86:
My 77 was originally silver. The paint was not in good shape however and required a respray. That’s said, silver is one color on 2nd gens I just don’t like. If it didn’t need a repaint I might have left it silver but I opted to go black with the charcoal/red decals that would’ve been on silver. White was a close second to the silver and I almost wish I’d gone that route just cause I think it’s sharp.

In any case, it’s your car. If you really want a different color and aren’t planning on flipping it go for it.

There’s a guy on FB that makes his living flipping these cars. He swears by painting them (nearly) all black and adding t tops saying they pull more money. They probably do. He’s a bit of a jerk about it and admitted he’ll take any publicity he can get over it, good or bad, to make more money. My point is, if that’s what you want, go for what makes you happy. I also converted my car from an automatic to a 4 speed cause it’s what I wanted. I very nearly cut hurst hatches into it too but shy’d away from it…for now.

5th T/A:
I agree what with what all the others have said. It's your car paint it the color you like. Some people want a Resto mod others bone stock as it came from the factory. It's all personal preference. If you are looking for return on your dollar, invest your money elsewhere. 

By the way my TA is white with a blue bird and accents. Everyone has their own favorite, that's why Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors of ice cream. 

stros:
White with the blue accents/decals is my 2nd favorite combo (probably my favorite though if on an early to mid 70s TA). But don’t worry about what we say.  I initially thought I’d keep everything stock too but decided I didn’t enjoy it that way as much.
