1976 Cadillac Limousine Repaint... Color?

[Fleet]

Eventually, I am going to have my '76 Cadillac Limousine repainted. It is still wearing the original paint and is very faded in places.

Since I already own an all-black car ('69 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham), I am considering dark blue for the limo. I always wanted a blue car and this would be a good chance to make that happen.

So, vote here!

Here are two photos to illustrate both colors. My '76 in black and a '74 (same body style as mine) in dark blue. The vinyl roof also needs to be redone and it will match whatever body color I choose... either black with a black vinyl roof or dark blue with a dark blue vinyl roof.

I'd go with a heavily metalflaked silver. Are you getting the roof redone also? Maybe all it needs is some Armorall? (keep it black of course)



Then again, you could Pimpmobile it and go for hot pink or metalflake purple!!! ;)

Silver was available. See photo. Also an unusual color was available on the '71s (see photo)... called Empire Maroon Firemist. The vinyl roof is too far gone for treatment to be effective. It has splits in it and lifting off the roof in places.

Fortunately, I have good taste and will not ruin a classic Cadillac! A limo should look elegant and regal, and not look like some kind of clown car!

I would go with a nice smooth classic black.

Tony, she was kidding for Heaven's sake. I was going to say paint it hot pink and sell it to the Mary Kay cosmetic people. KIDDING. I vote for black. Can't go wrong with classic black. :)

Yeah, I know. But there are some people out there who would actually paint a limo pink... and think it looks good!

As for actual color, I am kind of leaning towards blue. If I didn't already have a black car, it would be an easy decision.

So I'm guessing you're not a fan of candy paint?
