That is a version of my ultimate paint job. Only difference for me would be a whiter yellow to start, and I'd end up in a very dark blue. However, I would be perfectly happy with that one. It would look great on a street rod or a bike as well.

Beautiful paint job, kind of reminds me of the late 50s. Never saw it on a corvette but it looks nice

Another job well done comment, but better suited to a hot rod. I'll keep mine all black, thanks. Or even other monochromatic options...
