    AI Paint Job for Penny (the ratty FB)

    She decodes to a raven black on black 65. So the abuse that an orange earl scheib paint job and then a mentos green Maaco job dealt to here can now be instantly reversed. Google's "nano banana" AI to the rescue. 
    Hmmm, maybe I have an idea for a car show placard and a binder with all the angles covered. Ha!

    I've gotta admit it looks good in black!
    On the other end of the spectrum, my black 67, is in the shop going back to its original colour, Lime Gold.
    Contrary to modern tastes, it was the most popular colour in 67.
    I was sorta undecided on the colour, until Bolted (John Dixon), finished his car.

    Orange is the new black 😜

    The faded green on the fastback reminds me of the metal primer used prior to the “nonskid” on aircraft carrier flight deck and hangar bay.

    I dig that color green whatever it is.

    IIRC that would be Olive Drab zinc chromate.

    I would like to see the original version of this photo.
    You can leave the gas pump out of pitcher.
    Looks like same pump/spot from 2024.

    My 68 came from the factory Sunlit Gold, I could not have lived with that. Plow its  some shade of resale red.
