Guest Gee_Rydes Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 You all have been really awesome with your feedback on my color choice dilemma. Would you mind taking another moment and logging your choice/choices of color you would prefer if you were to buy a 1965 Riviera with a saddle interior??Also, what color would you absolutely NOT buy regardless of how nice it was?? Again I REALLY appreciate your time and opinionsDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68RIVGS Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 The right dark metallic Green, or metallic Blue should complement a saddle interior ! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZRIV Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 1. Regal Black2. Verde Green65s demand attention regardless of color.....but if you are going to the trouble and expense of doing an exterior color change, to me Black or Verde Green would be the cats meow with that interior. This body style begs for a dark color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest COMPACTBC Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Bamboo Cream if you don't want a metalic color, orTurquoise Mist Poly if you want a metalic color. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Riviera Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Let us know what you decide. If anyone wants to paint their car Verde Green (dark green ) let me know . There is a very nice BMW modern color that looks like Verde but nicer in my opinion.

Philippe Racicot Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Verde green is my choice! Dick, did you paint your car to the original color or to that BMW color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Deebenarc Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Dude, My heart says Verde Green, My head says Black. The 65' in my driveway says Silver Cloud w/Black inside is AOK. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JalopyBob Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 The light yellow was nice, especially with redline tires on the sport wheels. I have forgotten the official name for the color. It is like the light yellow on 65 Corvettes and Corvairs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 63riviera Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I made a 8 month process of getting just the right paint.It had to have the iridescence of the Silver Arrow--which was my inspiration for the color:I used Mercedes Astral Silver because the German paints have finer metallic mica/metallics which contribute to the iridescence. Porsche polar Silver is very cool because it was a touch of blue in it.My painter said the '63'65 Riv's look best with a brighter color. he wanted to paint mine Lexus pearl white. But since mine was originally Silver cloud, i wanted to stick to something that closely resembled it.One stunning Riv I saw in the "let's see those Riv's!" thread had one in champagne that looked drop dead gorgeousA Lot of people told me black. It is cool, but shows all the swirl marks and any surface imperfections. Unless you have a lot of time and/or money, block sanding the body to get a smooth paint application, and then color-sanding it between colors and clear, it doesn't show off the car as it was meant to be shown.That's why silver was THE color to get.It just totally complemented its lines. the light -blue-metallic also looks good, but nearly so as this Porsche polar silver color that had the fine silver iridescence and a hint of blue.

Guest 63riviera Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 here's my Merceder astral silver:It still needs some more color sanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lapham3 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Probably Sahara would be my choice with your saddle interior. I have a 225 with Sahara that looks nice. Also have the Champagne in a Riv-looks to me like mixing gold and silver together-I like it more and more as the years go by- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
