As you can see by my avatar, I have a non-stock paint color selection on my coupe. I get many compliments about the color scheme and have never had anyone ask if it's an original color. The red is not gaudy, but it sure is red. I bought the car this way - I don't know what I might have done if faced with the choice when restoring a car. I think it's fair to consider colors that were available in the era - although maybe not chosen by Edsel/Henry. I'm dead set against metallic paint, however!! JMHO!!!
