3rd - Hopefully Final - Choice for Color

May 4, 2007 in Frame and Body

Yea I know - I’ve been really indecisive about what color to paint SSDutch - and it’s cost me.  I have a quart of white to match the current color, a quart of ‘60’s era Ford Rangoon Red - which was the color of my ‘66 CJ5 (and currently is on the Bantam Trailer).

But I just couldn’t get excited about either of those two colors - they are neither distinctive nor do they instantly communicate “old Jeep”.  So this week I had to make the decision yet again as the interior is ready for paint and I only want to do it once.

In Googling for “champagne gold” I came across this ‘69 Mach 1 Mustang and really liked the color:

So that’s what I purchased - a ‘69 Ford Champagne Gold.  It’ll be my first time spraying with my HVLP gun - so wish me luck!

Oh - I also found these pics of a Champagne Gold CJ5 that sold on eBay a while back:

    Can’t wait to see it.  I still have to make a decision on what color to paint my 1959 CJ6. 
    Good Luck!

    Keep in mind - at this point I’m only painting the interior.

    Progress slowed today due to bad allergies…and more wind than I’d prefer.
