What I think would look really cool with burgandy is black Shelby stripes put down and covered with a candy/ translucent burgandy. In effect ghosting the black stripes.
After watching the video I guess I was picturing more of a dark maroon. still think the stripes layed underneath either would look cool.

Check out the 72 mustang burgundy, you should find that code

Thanks, that a nice color but tit's really maroon and just not dark enough for what I'm looking for.
 

An earlier Porsche Burgunder Rot is a nice non-metallic but not sure if it is dark enough for you.  About half-way down the page is a nice picture - http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/497026-rosewood-vs-burgundy.html   See the posting from hessel1974

A favorite of mine from the 60's was a GM Madeira Burgundy/Maroon but may also not be dark enough.

I'm guessing you've already considered the obvious '65 Code X Vintage Burgandy Metallic and nixed it. To me, it is a truly underrepresented color which looks very sharp when done correctly. Actually, I don't recall ever seeing a fastback in that color in person, only coupes. Ooops, you're not looking for metallic. 


Actually, this '71 911T in burgundy (2424) looks like a million bucks!

Thanks GPatrick and Jeff.  I agree that burgundy looks great.  I may be completely off base, but at this point, I'm leaning toward anothe other Porsche color they offered in 1971 - eggplant.  Sound like it would be awful, but at least in some pictures I've seen it looks great.  I'm going to have a sample made up and shoot it on a spare hood I have and see what it looks like.  There's a danger it may look too purple but we'll see.

I have always liked the Royal Maroon on the 69 Bosses.

Unfortunately, if I painted my car that color, which looks very close to the A&M maroon, I wouldn't be able to show my face around Austin anymore
