65 Restomod Coupe

All black interior-except for the white headliner

I was going with the hertz colors on the outside.

that was thrown out the window, its a coupe.

I think a solid color would be the best choice

now just to pick one.... ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Some colors that have caught my eye so far!

VIPER RED

BLACK PEARL

CHARCOAL GREEN

HIGHLAND GREEN WITH PEARL

IVY GREEN

The painter is just waiting on me to pick its color! help!!

Its your car and you should do what you want. However its my opinion that black, especially flat black, has been done to death. 10 years ago it was cool because black looks mean and there wasnt alot of total black cars. But now everybody wants a mean black car.

IMO, flat black is for B-B-Qs.....

Not knowing what colors the greens you mention really are, I say a nice medium/dark green would look right.

I think it would still look pretty darn good with the hertz colors on it.

I say some kind of green.

Not sure which of those green options you listed, though.

it's like pick any color. Look at craploads of pictures of coupes the same year, then you'll know what you like.
Dark green, dark blue, dark red always go easy on those cars I think
