You could go with a shade of green....? I've been debating on that myself with my convertible. It doesn't seem that green is a horribly popular color, but if done right I think they look pretty good.

Again, examples or inspiration, depending on your view.

Highland green the one on the top . I have painted 2 that color ,one with white stripes but the correct gold really sets it off

That Highland Green is close to BRG wouldn't you say?

Here's a pic of Chalk with White and Chalk with Black on a Cobra.
There's also another color I was looking at but it harkens back to mainstream (which I am not totally against). It's a color called Cavalry Blue (Toyota I think) which might look nice with white striping.

Preferences??

I like the color, personally.

if I ever have an opportunity to customize a Mustang in a non factory color, I might consider this Toyota color: Calvary blue.

Hey guys,

Well it's been many years working on my Fastback and I'm now ready to send it in for paint. I want something a little different and am thinking of a Porsche color called Chalk (aka Crayon) with dark grey Shelby Striping and a dark grey stripe along the sides above the rockers.

What do you guys think this color would look like on a 65 FB?

Revology has some unique colors, like inca silver and Boston beige

I also wonder what kinda care that crazy high gloss is gonna need. I wouldn't want a color where the paint care is a part time job.

Love the Boston Beige. I think Chalk would produce a similar look.

Well like the colour or not, here she is. Putting all back together now. Started with lights etc and then got the headliner in to start the interior.

I like the color. I'll be wrapping mine battleship gray and If I don't like it then I can take it off and going with another color. Painting a car is expensive and wrapping it is a lot cheaper if you do it yourself. if you decide to wrap it stay away from Ebay.

Hopefully on the road for summer. I have my front and back glass gaskets on the way right now (arrive tomorrow) so will be doing glass next. Side vent windows are all rebuilt with new chrome and are ready to go in as well. Just need to get my interior kit now but with the border closed I can no longer pop across the line to pick up my parts with "free shipping". Shipping to Vancouver via UPS will cost me another $300US plus duty and tax when it gets here. May just have to bite the bullet though.
