    Gotta do a bit of good body work on my seven deuce and its probably gonna need a whole new coat. The car right now is a faded chipped emerald'ish green i think its called heritage green with an ivory painted top, and i really just dont like it. I would like to keep the car an authentic or close color and im thinking something silverish. I cant remember ever seeing another silvery 70-72 if i remember right though there was a gorgeous silver '65 at the nats last year or before for sale that i loved; thanks for any ideas.

    70 and 72 Silver Mist are two different colors. 70 has a bluish tint (as in the above pic) and 72 has a green tint. Mike Mullen (ChinaMikeM) has a 72 and has quite a few pics floating around on here.
