Default Custom color C4s or any Corvettes, post pics/ideas

So I'm really anxious to get a C4 preferably a convertible. I'm having a hard time finding the right one for me looks and price wise. I do know of a good low mileage 86, but the paint is bad, no lt1, automatic. I always notice a Corvette which makes me want the C4 for me either more, but it also makes me realize there are plenty of Corvettes out there and I'm back to thinking I want to do something less common.

Here are a few interesting wheel/colour combos:





I love this C4..C6 Z06 wheels on red. Looks like it's been lowered.







Looks good with C5 Z06 wheels.



17" polished Centerline wheels on red.

Dude grow up it's silver beige metallic not gold.
The OP asked for something different.
Quit following me around on the forum with your color blindness.


Until you can see the difference between silver/beige and gold.

GOLD.


SILVER BEIGE METALLIC.


If you cant see they are very very very different colors let me suggest this guy to you.

i think you should paint it silver beige metallic. apprentaly that raises the cars value by $5000 dollars. the black car with flat black rims is really badass

I like this color and it appears to be well cared for. Throw some black wheels on there and you'd have a killer ride!

When I repainted my car, I put House of Kolor Fireball Red flake in the clearcoat. Now my originally maroon 86 turns blue, green, red, pink, purple in the light. Everyone stares

Although the color is not very different or rare, getting your hands on a vert with a hard top allows you to have 2 different cars. Obviously wheels can change the look as well.

Thanks Mike for posting a custom. Even more so that you did it yourself cause I'd be planning to do the same.

No one would ever go out of their way to paint a Vett this color
I am clueless why a photo of this is listed in a thread named " Custom color C4s " Hokies take that thing and have a real color put on it
