My feeling is that black goes better with straight lines and curvy objects look better in color.

Whatever the color, my vote would be to retain the 1950s/1960s colors "feel." Personally, I like Hamilton Beach green. Fits with the era. I know, it's my era.

I dunno, our kitchen leans to stainless and it seems basic black goes with stainless......but I have the full palette to choose from since the machines need painting. any suggestion would be fine....but no puce or fancy exotic colors, and no taupe since I got pretty tired of that on an old car I restored. Ferrari red...I have never seen a Ferrari let alone a red one so I couldn't say. RJ, do you have swatches?

I'll let Jack, henry and the REAL Caravel crowd weigh in on that one. I'd probably go with the OEM color that matches the vintage (design characteristics) of the various models.
Someone WILL want hot pink, though. Don't be looking in my direction! :lol:

Can you chrome the whole thing? Ferrari red would be nice also.

Me thinks a red/orange like the one that came round about to visit me is a fetching hue. Wish she could have stayed!!

Red would be THE color for me. I'll save the green for envy. :mrgreen:

Good to be getting a smattering of opinion.....I like to duplicate the color as close as possible but then always kindof regret not getting creative instead of rigorous in the restoration. Good point on the straight lines curvy lines...hadn't thought of it that way but an old Mercedes looks great in black, square lines, and an old Jaguar XKE looks great in colors, all curvy. And I think that old jadeite appliance green is good as well. Silver hammertone comes just right without any special color matching, and that is pretty much the silver color exactly. What to do.....

What to do? Consider offering custom color choice to the buyer?
