How about a bright red with some purple pearl in it. the purple will pop only when the sun hits. Red with a small gold stripe.2 tone maroon and grey foose style. If you go to a paint store and look at the fleet colors you will find petty much anything you want. Mix extra or keep the formula in case something bad happens.
btw did I read right Spike does not like his car flashy?

Yep...anything is possible as far as Chrysler colors.
My Caravelle is MU3. But mine is a "special" MU3
Lots of flake.

Me neither.
I was just having fun humoring the idea of a Panther Pink Volare.
It would turn heads for sure.
But maybe not in a good way.

I painted my car in red flake years ago in lacquer. I even had a special gun with a agitator to keep the paint mixed. It was a lot of work but looked nice. I was the only one around here to have one done like that. Are you leaving it silver or putting candy over it?

Black. Paint it black (with apologies to The Rollimg Stones), with the matoon pin stripes. Black, with painted black cop wheels with chrome centers. Will work well with a red/maroon interior. Only issue is keeping it looking good.

Everytime we talk about the color I always say.
That car would look gorgeous black.
It's up to her now but yes I agree..
Black would look mint...
I also agree that it's a b**ch to keep clean and looking nice
But hey.....that's showbiz.

Got the word from the wife.....
No plum crazy....no panther pink....
She wants the same red.
Although I'm anti GM I do think 50th anniversary Corvette red would look cool.
Really nice flake.

The paint saga continues......

Gotta go along with your wifey on this...and remember, if mama ain't happy nobody's happy!

I'm gonna paint it with a mix of candy apple red and candy Brandywine so it'll have that nice deep red

Check out House of Kolors chips and take a look.

Chrysler also has some modern three stages that will give you a good pop with the pearl you're looking for.

Not big on stripes, but the purple is awesome with those. They are very period correct and accent the purple nice. Nice back tires, too. It is all about the back tires.

Thank you Sir,
I figure I can come up with an eye popping Chrysler color.
I don't want GM anything on my Mopar.
