  • paint time!

    gotta get my paint scheme figured out cause the car will probably be getting painted within the year and i gotta let my painter know whats going on. i know i'm sticking with my color scheme of the medium silver tone (pewter or a similar color) stripes on the white body with other black accents. thinking i'll keep the headlights, grille, door handles, sideviews, and sailpanels black. can't decide if i wanna do the roof black or not. body will be white. getting a sunoco style hood and a either a mecham or a 96 and below SS spoiler (without the two bars). so i'm not sure whether or not to go with one stripe down the middle with black pin around it or go with two stripes with the black pins. pretty sure i'm keeping the berger panel and having the taillights shot with clear. also getting new black emblems. also going to have the wheels shot the same color as the stripes so the color matches exactly. so what do yall think? need a little advice. this sound good? one stripe or two? paint the roof black or leave it body color?

    Dont paint the roof black.
    Sunoco hood is boss.
    Perhaps all the black attachments on a white car will look too 'Police"?
    Black wheels will work well.

        agreed.
        agreed.
        all the aforementioned black accents came stock on my car and it looks perfect.
        already got anthracite wheels that will be re-shot to match the anthracite stripes...tie it all together.

                pretty sure he means two "pewterish" colored stripes.

                no...no t-tops.

                  yep, that's what i meant. and with that, keep the top white.

                  and 96greenmachine, this is one of the very few cars i would not paint black, it would clash with his beautiful interior!

                  obtw, i think you're the first person to address me and spell my name right! congrats! haha

                      i say leave it the way it is as far as what color everything is...match the wheels with the stripes and get your hood and spoiler u want..should look sick! btw why paint it? looks good like it is unless your just painting it cuz of the new parts u want...

                              yeah i'm paint the whole because of all the small damaged areas. there are two spots where cars have hit me on the back bumper. the front clip is pretty nasty. etc. plus with a new hood and spoiler...i wanna make sure the two tones match like they should. don't want 13 day old paint clashing with 13 year old paint ya know what i mean?
