Default SiLvEr C3's.. got any pics?

I have looked a couple of times for a thread dedicated to silver C3's but couldn't find one... If I have over looked it please point me in the right direction.. if not.. PLEASE POST SOME PICTURES.

The few pictures of silver C3's I have seen on here make the paint look kinda cheap / plastickie looking.. I am wondering if it is possible to paint a fiberglass body to look like some of the newer silver job's like say.. a BMW m3's titanium silver colour ? ?

anyways... hopefully this thread will show the potential of a silver C3..

Thanks !!

For a little contrast, Steel Cities Gray.

BTW, Richard454 try resizing your pics down a little.

gq, is that the colour (Steel Cities Gray) of your Vette in your avatar? If it is, could you post a bigger pic of it please? I don't want to do a complete colour change on my old girl as I'm running with the dark red interior, but I'd like to do something different with it and that grey looks smart.




scuse the dust...
