Decal/color opinion please
« on: April 18, 2013, 06:45:45 PM »

Hello
We are going to repaint our 79 TA sundance yellow which was factory. I think most decals were the orange or gold decals. It's a coupe with tan interior.
Which color of bird/decals do you think would look the best? Orange, black/silver, light gold(1979), or dark gold(1980)?  If we went with black/ silver, would it change the value of the car?
If we painted the car Mayan red with gold decals would it change the value of the car? Or should we  stick with the original color and decals? If u were the buyer, which scheme would u prefer?

Most of these cars aren't their original color anymore anyway, (a shame really) so value probably wouldn't change much. For me, id do yellow all the way. Love that color. Its bright and attention grabbing. If your interior is tan id do gold decals. Silver looks best IMO, but wouldn't match the color pallet much.

I agree. I think the black/silver looks the best. Seems like it pops more. However, I like the hood bird for the silver. Not too much of a fan of the other decals with silver. I should put the other ones gold lol.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the video uploaded shows the bird, front and rear decals silver and gold for the shaker, sail birds, and front fenders.
I think the gold or silver decals but still undecided on which one

They all look good. I think I would put silver and have grey wheels. I think yellow and tan with gold decals and gold wheels might be a little color overload.
