what color to paint the cutlass

two or three

None of those.

none!

Ewwww .... :?

Yeah, None of those are quite attractive IMO. Honestly, with the body lines of the early cars like that ... I really find period correct colors to be awesome, but with some flare added to them.

I think it would look nice to have all the brightwork re-done, some nice black Olds Rally's, and then either painted:

Candy Root Beer like this:

Pearl Beige like this (think about it on an early g-body 8) ):

or

Candy Brandywine (which IMO would look amazing on your car with the trim all redone!)

Are you planning on spray painting it or are you just using those colors in the link as a reference?

I see. I was wondering because you had said that you wife told you to do it right. Well all I can say is good luck! I've heard about the roll-on's. 50 bucks sounds good til you go through a couple hundred more in sanding supplies and even more from the band-aids you will need for you bleeding fingertips. :lol: I'm not knocking it but just be prepared.
