Hi! I don't post often, but I read this board everyday. I've wondered about the paint issue many times.....
I have a '70 Nova SS 396/350hp car. The original factory color was Cortez Silver. The previous owner had it painted Black Cherry. Some things were done.... well, in my opinion, a little half-@ssed on the body. But I don't know much about body work to really qualify that opinion.
Anyway, someday I'd love to be able to get the body issues corrected and done properly. I've often wondered whether to switch it back to the factory silver color or keep the Black Cherry. The color looks nice, but it isn't original to that SS396 car.
Since this isn't a "supercar" type of machine, is the paint color as critical of an issue?
