Color scheme?
I have a black 99' coupe and I was going to do a red and black color scheme but I noticed it is real popular. I thought about yellow and black but someone told me I would look like a bumble bee going down the road. Black and blue has been mentioned but what about black and white? Has anyone gone with black and white on their vettes. Thanks for any info or pics.

I unintentionally went with black and white, cause that's the way it came. I've considered continuing the scheme into the interior and engine but was afraid of dirt, grease, etc on white. Mine's a DD.
I'll be interested in seeing any pics.

The thing about black is that it will look good with whatever choice you make. If you want to stick with one color for all those things you mentioned, I'd probably go with red. I agree that white is gonna be high maintenance, so I would definitely go with red. Good luck and show us some pics when she's done.

Thanks, I just ordered some CCW 505a's and John said I should have them sometime next week so I was trying to figure out what color to paint the center of my rotors and calipers while I have the wheels off. I didn't want to buy new sensors so I sent him mine. I might as well work on the car while it is on jacks.

Personally, I wouldn't go with white - too hard to keep clean. How about black and grey.
