My 64 Dodge 440 will be the original colour but I'm using Urethane 
Enamel instead of the Acrylic.

I chose the original colour (sky blue) not because I like the colour but 
becuase at least then the entire car will match.  I do not have to paint 
the axle hump, wheel wells, door jambs etc. and even under the dash will 
match.

I had a 63 Fury that I painted red from its original greeny yellow 
(washed down puke) colour but did not paint the little stuff like door 
jambs and as long as I did not open the trunk and doors, it looked real 
good.  I promised myself "never again" I will keep the original colour 
to make my life easier.

However, despite my ramblings, you ultimately decide and what you want 
is more important than what I or anyone else thinks.
