Default Paint ideas

Since my recent find of someone nudging my front end at Carlisle....thought I would get a new paintjob. Looking at keeping my car silver but thought some electron blue rally stripes with red outline across the top would be cool. Anyone have anything similar? Anyone recently have a paintjob and what was the cost? My '79 has no cracks, or major problems, but it is the original paint and you can see some of the factory seams. Just looking for ideas.

Default oh my...

6k for a paint job!!! I am either in the wrong business or the guys painting cars in your end of town carry guns when delivering the bill. LOL. Anyway...let me see those pictures you have. I just want someting nice and not too gaudy or overdone. Every time I see a C3 with an overdone paint job, it just screams out to me..."CAR FROM THE 70's!"
Hopefully that isn't too offensive for someone whom I belive still remembers the 70's fondly!! HA.
