Guest straight shooter Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I would like to know what would you consider to be the ideal exterior color for an Avanti, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1lark Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 No question, in my mind at least -- black !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stude8 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 The original advertising literature always showed it in "Avanti Gold" a special formula paint color. Black is a tough color on fiberglass to do because it shows all undulations in the surface finish, surface prep is quite an undertaking to get a good Black finish in the end. Attached is the color code chart for 1963 Avanti.Stude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-Frame Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Quick answer... whatever the "original" color is/was on your car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlightcoupe Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Black is always sweet but, as stude8 indicated, it's a real bear to properly prep and follow through. A stunning non-original was done by Brad Bez. He used a 2011 Honda 'Ionized Bronze" with some added pearls.Check it out.Bez Auto-Alchemy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
