That's what I ment. :lol:
Aw guys... Men of taste. I am blushing.
Although i quite like being the only gunmetal one i know of... :)

Incidently, i thought i would paint mine black, but now i love the colour. If i was choosing from scratch i would be sorely tempted by sublime though... Or a dark metallic candy green. Hmmmmmmm....

Welcome to the club.
One other point to consider is whether you want the 'new car' deep gloss you get with modern basecoat+clear paints, or the original solid colour finish - which I think may be difficult to get these days. (Someone with more paint expertise can say...)

When I got my charger it was three different shades of red, so I gave it a spray over in matt black and that was ten years ago. Not for the purists but it just looks good. When I have time it will go back to the original AA1 silver...

Great choice of car. 8-)
See your conundrum with color.

Have to say i'm a sucker for the color combo as you'd find on Eleanor from the remake of gone in 60. Think Charger on here has that color combo and it looks ££££££'s and the dogs!

Problem you'll have is as the Charger is a popular car, most color combo's have been done.

Out of the two you've listed i'd go red. Less chance of parking next to one at local events!

Wow! thanks for all the responses! Now I really don't know what colour to go for! They all look so good! Sorry for the slow reply!

Went to start her yesterday, whilst the sun was out! Thought i'd get some decent photos to upload! No luck, for the first time, she wouldn't start! No fuel getting through! I'm guessing it's the pump! So here's a few old photos I have on file.
