I would re-shoot it with white paint, it looks pretty nice. Thats what I am going to put on my 68 next year. Has a nice clean look to it.

Not sure about color, but it will take a lot of paint to cover a 79 foot Vette.

Its all personal preference, What you like best is the important part.

Im going Flame orange cause it was the factory paint for mine, not to mention the fact I've never seen another Vette with Flame Orange and Neutral interior.

What's wrong with the [white] paint on it now? It looks pretty good in your photo.

Leave it to Vettebuyer to point out a grammer flaw, but it was pretty funny. If white is the factory color, I'd leave it that color.

Have you considered black? I think black looks awesome on your year model.
