Thread: I bet you thought.....

Today I decided enough was enough. Time to figure out what color the 27 is going to be, so I went to the paint store and poured through all their paint charts, even the Fleet Color chart, and finally decided I am going with SEM Hot Rod Black. It is a satin black that I have seen on other cars and liked, so I bought the two kits they have in stock to get me started and plan to shoot it tomorrow night or Saturday.

I had considered every color out there.........blues, reds, etc. and gloss versus satin, and the main reasons I went with this is that I am tired of messing around with this car. It's sitting there as a running chassis and the only things holding it back are the paint and interior. My Son Don and I share a common trait, we know when "good enough is good enough." Neither of us mind the little nicks or flaws that some people fret over, we want to use and abuse our rods and know that once they hit the street they will be getting road rash in a short period of time anyway.

That feels like a load lifted from my back now that I know what color it will be and I can get on with my life. Besides, I don't know if any one color or sheen is perfect on any car anyway. We usually end up liking the choice we made and living with it.

I'll post some pictures of it after the weekend. Here is a picture of a 27 in satin that I like a lot.
