For years I've had plans to eventually have my Claret fixed all up and then repainted a custom color, something along the lines of a darker silver, gunmetal, slate, etc.
Yesterday I came out of the store and caught my car at just the right angle and the sun was hitting it just right and it just looked beautiful (from 50 feet away where none of the dents or blemishes show).
Claret seems to never get much love around here (except for Mike) and I think it even might be one of the most custom painted SVX colors. But there must be a reason it also seems to be one of the most common 92 SVX colors out there, although maybe we shouldn't judge car buyers' taste back then?
When a Claret is all waxed up and in the right light, I love it. Other times, I keep thinking how cool a more neutral color might be, not to mention custom to the SVX. Of course color change = more money, especially since next week I'm getting 1/5 of the car restored and repainted Claret courtesy of insurance.
Decisions, decisions....
