Harry P. Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I remember that color very well. When I was a little kid, my mom's cousin's son (whatever that makes him to me... second cousin?) had a brand new Impala that was Evening Orchid with a white interior. WOW! That was just about the most beautiful car I had ever seen. All these years later, I still like that color on a mid-'60s Impala, especially with a white interior.

realgone58 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Always loved this color. Very close to the Lavender metallic on my 1:1 '61 Plymouth. I think the Plymouth may be a shade darker however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToyLvr Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Nice build, Al! Where'd you get the paint? If you take a close look at my member photo, you'll see my 1:1 '65 Corvair in Evening Orchid. My family calls her "Jasmine". I've got the rare AMT kit to build a 1/25 replica, but need the paint. Testor's used to have it in rattle can enamel #28146, but it has since been discontinued. I also need this color to use on the "Tognoti's T" I've got stashed.... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron35369 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Beautiful job on the 65 Al. I too love that color. Not sure where you get your paints but I buy a lot of factory colors from automotivetouchup.com. A 2 ounce bottle of unreduced paint sells for $14.95. They can also do any color in an aerosol spray can. http://www.automotivetouchup.com/choosecolor/choosecolor.aspx?year=1965&make=chevrolet&model=all%20models That is the link for 65 Chevrolet Evening Orchid.
