Black,yellow,or White. If Your Vette Is This Color Post A Picture
 
I have already had a blue one, and already had a yellow one, and already have a white one. I am tied between white again or yellow or black. I really want to paint it black, but they get dirty to fast. Throw me some ideas, and pic's:cheers: here is how mine was in white. :thumbs:

I have no pic's of my blue one :(

So pick. YELLOW,BLACK or WHITE

Black looks great when the car is clean - unfortunately it looks terrible when it's dirty. Black requires perfect bodywork as it magnifies every little imperfection.

Leave white for kitchen appliances :leaving:


I voted 'yellow'

I just bought metal flakes and pearl on Ebay, they have yellow mini flakes that you can mix in the first coat of clear. That should look pretty good over a yellow base :thumbs:

Here's a pic of my blue one, which I sold, and my current black one with a poor paint job, and before ANY of the work that's been done thus far.
Here's the Blue:

And to be honest, I am really leaning toward YELLOW
:) :willy: :bigears again

for some reason i think black make the car look smaller

No vote, just posting the pic - the white rear fenders sometime get this charcoal-looking dusty chunky stuff on them.

Darker colors make objects look smaller, light colored objects appear bigger. That's why they paint all walls bright white before they sell houses /apartments.

Does that theory apply to fat women?

I am partial to Yellow.

I like black, but after owning a black on black Trans Am in Texas it was too hard to keep clean, and too hot in the summer.

I have a Yellow 'Vette too, but black is King,IMO!

I'll give a vote for the white. Just looks neat and clean.

I am also partial to all the other colors you mentioned. The "right" yellow looks good. Some looks too much like a traffic sign. Black is always beautiful, until it gets dirty. With white, your car can be slightly dirty and still look clean!!

Good luck,
Dino

I had all off the stainless, chrome, and aluminum powdercoated with satin black.
