Default '68-69 pic thread

Do we have one of these? I briefly tried searching but didn't come up with much other than wheel/tire combos. I'm mainly looking for paint and color schemes. What would be ideal is a blue or dark blue '68 or '69 however all colors are fine. I'm trying to figure out what my car would exactly look like. I'm not good at Photoshop, I wish I was. I've already checked out most every car on ultimategto.com, however they don't really have many dark blue colors on that site to go with. Bonus would be with an Endura delete as I think I'm going to keep the chrome for a while. Anyway, post it up, thanks.

I was watching Mecum on TV Sunday morning and my GTO drove across the block. Verdoro Green with a black vinyl top. Weird to see.........

The problem with ultimategto.com is, they usually only post up cars with factory paint jobs or colors otherwise correct for the year. I have yet to see a Nightwatch Blue or Nocturne Blue '68 or '69.

I almost want to keep the Verdoro Green on my car, since the interior paint is that color and it looks decent, but I think I'd rather go dark blue on this one. My car had a black vinyl top on it too at one point, now I have to fix the roof.

As far as the greens go, I really like Nightshade-



And since you seem to be starting a '68/'69 picture thread, here's the color of mine...If I ever finish it. Meridian Turquoise with black Cordova.

I always love that color. Makes me want to paint mine that color, but I'm not sure if I will because that is kind of an oddball choice of mine.
Basically I want to go with something "subtle". I don't really want to attract attention to the car but I want it to still have a decent color, that's why I was thinking dark blue.

It is impossible to not attract attention in a GM A-body, especially a GTO.

Nice car, I like the post cars, wish the GTO came as a post coupe in '68.

True, but I'd like it to attract less attention than say, an Orbit Orange car would. Around me it seems most of the A-bodies need a bright paint job that stands out. I'd rather not.

I was thinking of going with Starlight Black but I already have a triple black Bronco I drive daily, might as well have some sort of color to this car. I was thinking white for a while too, still am.

Here's a few of the pics I've been collecting. My mind seems to wander from day to day as far as the paint job goes. Some of these pics I may just like the stance or rims and tires of the vehicle, however the paint job brings it out IMO. I have a ton of pics I've been collecting. Most of these pics I got of eBay, Craigslist, Google images, ultimategto.com or maybe a few off this site, I can't remember. I'll post basically the better ones, I've narrowed it down to about 66 images, hopefully I'll narrow it down further.
