74 Chevy Nova update 13 - The Chosen Color (Sneek Peek) HD

Here is the color I have chosen for the 74 Chevy Nova. From the factory my Nova was a solid red color. I wanted to continue the same color but bring it more modern with Mazda's Velocity Red Mica (color code 27A). Has great metallic shine and the red is a really Rich color.
