The GT has been in the paint & body shop about three weeks now, and will be ready for paint in another 2-3 weeks. The painter advised me to hold off as long as possible to buy the paint, because many folks change their minds about color. That was good advice, and I'm glad I took it. However, as the time draws nearer, I still cannot choose a color. To make it even more difficult, the car has red interior, so trying to stay with a 1963 color that will match the interior only leaves a few choices: white, silver, black, champagne, rose mist, regal red, and super red. Further, I must also please the wife.
So far, this is what the wife & I are thinking: white is too plain; OEM silver looks like a stainless steel refrigerator; black is too hot and shows dirt easily; the wife doesn't like rose mist or champagne; regal red is the color of our other GT; super red was the last color on this car, and we'd like something different.
The wife would prefer a gunmetal gray poly, as her last 63GT was painted by a PO during the 1970s. But I'd prefer to go with a 1963 Stude color. I am soo confused, and time for a decision is drawing near.
Anyone have any suggestions?

to be '63 color, and given the red interior, i'd probably also go with black.
