Default Would it be ricey if ....

Ok guys and dolls.... I had an idea while discussing stripes with my local car parts store owner....

Would it be ricey to put the Baldwin motion paint scheme on a C4? You know what I mean, the stripe down the center ending in a stripe that goes perpendicular around the rear end....


:confused:

I don't think so, but then again I'm slightly biased... ;)

I don't think so. But then again I did the Baldwin thing to my '75, so what do I know?

Its ultimatly your car and you have to drive it. It may not look too bad. See if someone could photochop it and then go from there.:)

On your red convertable? I can see that!

If you do it add a stinger scoop or a cowl ... Something small and sedate ... A stinger and Baldwin paint scheme could be cool if executed correctly.

What kind of wheels do you plan on using?

To each his own. Personally, I like the 1 GS stripe the best.

You know you can ask some, if you add anything other than Original Equipment then they will tell you its rice. My suggestion is if you like it, then do it, don't do it for anyone else to like. The reason we mod our cars is to make them ours individually. :yesnod: General Motors started out with a beautiful car when they came out with the corvette and we just make them better :lol: :yesnod: .

Great looking vette :cheers:

That would be nice. Please also consider the white stripes ... Even with the black wheels.

Also consider the small scoop or cowl detail.

REMEMBER ...Baldwin cars always had LARGE back wheels/tires ...

Another consideration ... Yenko stripes ... but put in your initials instead of Yenko's...

Which Yenko paint scheme are you talking about? '69 or the '70 type?

Here is the pic I posted in the photoshop request thread... give you an idea.

Picture this pait scheme on a red vert, with black stripes/paint.

The front looks like the GS stripe but the rear looks like this:
