Ok /o/, I've got a square similar to picrel, and looking for opinions on paint colors to do with it.
I'm considering two tone gloss black and white.
Halp.

Don't be a faggot and paint it black. It will cost you twice what any other color will.

Why?

Because you have to make absolutely sure there are ZERO imperfections in the body of the car/truck. The tiniest flaw will show up like your dick hanging out at a corporate meeting. Back in the day very few cars were black because they had to choose the most perfect ones at the factory to paint black. Also the paint has to be applied with perfection. Ask anyone that works at a body shop about painting something black

70's pea green with wood texture vinyl inside the chrome surround on the side. In other words exactly like this wagon, only not a wagon.

black is basically just a mirror so if the surface isn't perfect the images in the mirror will be all distorted.
It's not harder to paint black though, you just wanna put more prep in.
desu I'd prep all my cars as if they were black, I wouldn't go any extra mile just because something will be painted black.
Any solid colors will be easy to paint tho idk why he's saying it's harder to apply, solid colors are easy as fuck.
Metallics and pearls are hard to apply right tho.

dark green metallic - cream
sky blue - cream
dark brown - tan
faded red - white
These are my favorites for 70s square bodies.

Dark green would look excellent with both white or cream.
>>15428057
Yellow and white actually ain't bad either, eye catching and uncommon for sure.

Nice lemon ice cream bucket, FAGGOT.
metallic blue - silver

Mine's a mid 70's Suburban with a red paint with a matte-like black on the side strip.
I might post a pic later.

that absence of a wheel gap on a classic chevy pickup is atrocious tho
Would look pretty slick desu.

Bretty decent. Not in brown, though.

two tone is nice, but black and white isn't. Try teal and white. You could say it was inspired by the 1950s and 1990s
