I can't decide what color to paint my vette!!! :crazy:

I'm torn between a pearl white, or a black over flourescent blue(looks black until light hits hit, where upon it looks blue).

I'd like to paint it black, but the interior is a dark blue.
¨ŒÊŠny good color suggestions?

Oh yeah, I'd also like to hear some ideas for something different. Like flames, but no so overdone..maybe some stripes...

Not sure how it would look on the vette, but one of my favorite 'pearl white' colors is the irredescent pearl white on the newer caddys.

I'd go with the black/blue, that would look the best with the curves of the car.

Since your interior is blue, you could go black with a blue stripe, so it more matches your interior...

Nice car Zack. I really dig silver. It shades when the light hits and really shows off the sweet lines of the sharks. Sometimes looks like two tone the way light shades acros the highs and low spots of body design. Would silver match a dark blue interrior? If I change from my original Elkhart Green, Silver will be the top choice for me.

White is cool but the black over blue would be better
