Thanks mate! Verdoro is such a classic Pontiac color. My car is painted Cypress Green Poly. It's very close to Verdoro, and is metallic. Be sure to post some pics when your car is done.

awesome. I always get cool ideas for pictures that seem like they will look like this, but they always end up looking so cheesy. lol

Not sure where else to post this, forgive if wrong thread however how many '69 Firebird 400 Verts do you see these days with
these OEM hubcaps & thin Whitewalls? Edit FYI: This from PY'r Mike Noun's website page HERE

That factory '69 picture has always left me scratching my head. Notice that there is no rubber filler pieces between the fenders and the outer plastic headlamp bezels. Creative use of air brushing on the picture or could this be a pre-production prototype where the exact final design was not decided on?

My Sprint is quite similar, same color and same hubcaps, just 150 less cubes and 100 less horses!

I actually prefer that thin whiteline look, mine are regular 3/4" whitewall radials but I plan to go to Wide-O-ovals. The buildsheet shows the car came with redline fiberglass Wide-O-ovals but I think I might go with the whiteline version. Both the red and white Wide-O-ovals were 3/8"

I vote airbrush. Common stuff back then...
