2.Has anybody with the lt oak and black interior mixed and matched these two colors? Don't know how to describe. Ex... black leather inserts into lt. oak seats; lt. oak door handle on black door skins; do you know what I mean???

Hi nate -

Be patient - it's the weekend.

Some folks actually go outside and enjoy the nice weather...as long as they have a wireles connection

Here is a pic of one that I always thought was a good color combo - although I am not 100% sold on two-tone....



I have also seen cars with the coves painted like a classic 50's vette - that can look good.

The PFYC blue/yellow car is also very nice -

best regards -

mqqn

Take a look at the Vette Essentials Gallery. You'll see some good examples of interior combos. In terms of paint jobs, I seen members who have accented their paint jobs with Ghost Flames and Striping. Hope this helps.

Here are a couple of photoshops from last summer. The Z06 is based on a real paintjob, I just put the red in on top. The silver coupe is a concept that someone had asked for.

Yes. The Z06 is based on a custom paint job in a picture that was posted. All I did on that one was to change the Silver that was on top to a red. The coupe was done using a photo of a doner car in Silver and I photoshopped the black lower onto it. What did you have in mind?

Paul

p.s. I have another one at home where I was asked to match the Marlboro Maroon from a C2 onto a C5 in two tone. I'll put it up later tonight.

Here is the original that the two tone work was based on. This is an actual paint job, not a photoshop.



Here is a photoshop. The color is taken from a 1967 color called Marlboro Maroon Metallic. I simply traded off the red from above and color matched the '67 color.
