Red primer gets my vote, Anything else.. aluminum paint, day-glo orange, purple,
including covered with mink skin looks best on camaro's.

Can you tell me what color the axle housing/pumpkin should be on a 65 coupe?

Thanks,
John Thomas

I believe from what I have seen all the pumpkins originally came as red oxide finish, I usually use red primer, followed by a coat of clearcoat.Most axle housings I have seen are painted a flat or semi gloss black, not sure if this was always the case form the factory, or if they were left bare.

If you go to the website for my fastback (see my profile), there is a picture of the axle with the third member painted in red oxide. This is correct for concours, the Sapphire Blue axle in the picture is not. *G*

Thanks to all that replied. Red oxide it is!

Laurie,

Thanks for taking the time to respond and confirm the red oxide. The decision has thus been made and the deed is done!
