[29RPU]

I'm a graphic designer by trade, for many years now and I agree that Scott, you should make up your own mind. As I was thinking further about this thread, I didn't see anything with regard to subliminal effects color has, and I didn't offer anything either. In design (that is what we are all doing when we colorize our restorations) you almost always give up something to gain something. In good design, we almost always compromise. In this case, it is more flashy, at the cost of originality. But, I think it goes beyond that. It is flashy/showy/fun/attention at the cost of originality/toughness/business-minded/usefulness. No I don't mean that a truck with colored wheels isn't tough enough, or useful. Subliminally speaking, these are some of the truths that follow color, perticularly here with regard to the Model A.

I say again, that Scott, you should paint as you and your family desire, but with not only the actual, visual color in mind, but rather, the feeling you want to get from your truck as an overall package. I also offer this very humbly as I am contemplating the very same thing currently for my 29 Phaeton....orange wheels as last restored (looks great) or original. It is a hard decision to make. Tom
