I like Red and Blue.... I have a Sunfire which is called "Electric blue Mettalic"
a very nice color when clean and in bright sunlight!I thought some other guys may have painted their cars in some variations from the base colors of red and blue.Anyone have pics.... of 78-82 ?

Thanks... Barry :p:

Thanks for the input guys!Anyone have pics or know where to find good pics for reference?
Barry. My advice is paint it the color "you like". If I could have voted twice I would have voted for "maroon" as well as "Electron Blue". They both look equaly good to my eyes. There is also alot to be said for keeping the same color......easier to paint! But anyway, here is electon blue over silver for reference. I have had alot of positive comments on the combination.
