Custom Paint???????
Thinking of painting my Black 02 C5 in the reverse paint scheme of the 78 Pace Car - thinking of pewter/silver hood, top/trunk with red stripe separating black bottom. Any thoughts????? Don't want to screw the car up, but want to get a "different look" than just hood/trunk stripes. Appreciate any thoughts - good/bad and especially any pictures of other vettes with "unique" paint jobs - not after flames though.

Thanks Custom Shop for the photos - the orange/white gives me a good idea of how I'd want to treat the separation of the two-tone. GOOD LOOKING CAR!!!
Don't know how to post a picture - I've tried but keep getting pop-up that says my pictures are too large. Don't know how to reduce for this site. It's just a basis black C5 coupe. That's what I want to change!!!

I think it could turn out looking very good - just hard to really imagine it without some sort of pic to critique. Would be a good idea to have someone photoshop your car to the colors you want.

THANKS GBVETTE (and all you other folks too) - I really like that treatment on the rear deck lid area. If anyone would be willing to do a photoshop for me please let me know. My car is a basic black C5 coupe.
