Are you talking stock colours?
How "un-standard" is it and what rims are you using?

Have you thought about Palm Green/Sand Green?
It's a really cool look.
So is White/Mango.
I'm pretty much over white/red and white/blue 2-tone, not that it doesn't look effective, it's just done to death.
Whatever you do choose colours that are easy to touch up.
That was my mistake with my daily.
Cheers & God Bless

Do you know the colour range for 58. Would be a good place to start. Let's know the choices then run the poll.

What was the original color Mammo? You cant beat OG paint schemes but if you dont like the color then maybe find period correct color combos and go from there? Alternatively you could pic a color you like but go a pearl or metallic instead?
