I think it is safe to say that black is the rarest Studebaker Avanti color and Avanti Grey is the second rarest. That being said, this Avanti in grey looks awesome!

The original was metallic; as you say, this one appears to be a mild metalflake.
Pretty car, though; the Cragars and blackwalls set it off real nice. BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

Supposedly a PPG match to the original formula. I painted under the hood from the same can of paint, with a low gloss clear to try to match the original sheen. Basecoat paints tend to show off the metallic much more than the original lacquer.Bez Auto Alchemy

I'm kind of fond of the gray now (although this picture makes it look more blue).Last edited by 53k; 07-28-2012, 12:28 PM.Paul Johnson, Wild and Wonderful West Virginia.

My 63 was originally a Black 3 speed, with hill holder and an am radio!. It spent many years as a white one, and now it's back to black! LOTS of hours with a nice long block!! There is NOTHING prettier than a black car! Just try to keep it clean!! <G>

I showed my black Avanti. I cleaned it off three times on the morning of the SDC International concours. It got a First Place.Gary L.
