I really decided what color im going to go with when i redo the exterior of my car. Now iv been undecided about this for years asking people to do photoshops and what not, and i still cant decide what i like. Now in the crew i usually roll with we already have a blue, red, pewter, and green car. My car is currently black with red stripes if you dont know it. Here are some colors i was thinking of and i dont want to copy any of the other guys around so let me know what you guys think would look good or if you have other suggestions please voice your opinions, but please include pics if you suggest somthing.. thanks! here are a few pics of colors i like

This color is a mazda color called Copper Red Mica - seen this driving past a car in a parking lot and the waythe sun hit it caught my eye. Looked really nice, But would like to still see it up close. It sort of changes to copper in the right sunlight

This is classic Rally Green- iv been in love with this color for years and was almost dead set on this color till i starting thinking of others

This is another classic color fathom green - i dig olive drab type colors and this is pretty close to that. if i did this color i would throw some pearls in it to kick it up alittle bit because its a little dull

This is a custom PPG color called Midnight Sapphire pearl - this is probably the most expensive of all the colors i listed but its just F-in gorgeous...

and everybodies favorite that i refuse to take off the table... Candy Rootbeer... its so different of a color that i had trouble finding good pics of it... would probably do some sort of house of kolors candy for this... id have to look into it more...

Im liking that rootbeer color, but it might not look correct on the lt1 bird body, hard to explain what i mean. but going with the grain that midnight sapphire color is pretty hard to beat and would def work with gray interior, black engine bay, and the shape of the car

WOW! thanks justin thats a sweet pick of it... the only pic i could find was of that old ford truck... only it looks like this guy may have gone with a different undercoat and more coats of the transparent blue, because its alot brighter... looks like im going blue then... but im still open to suggestions if anyone has any. Iv though of purple but its not for me and i dont think it looks right on birds...

Here's a link with many more pics of that truck: http://inventory.bestofshowautomotive.com/CarDetails.asp?VIN=131729

Also, if you are thinking purple at all, I say it has to be bright purple metallic - that was a great factory color.

Botanical Green Metalic from Jag. Its a very nice and dark green with some flake in it.
When the light hits it, its a very vibrant green. At night, the color is turned way down.

Burnished Brown is an original 69 Camaro color that looks great and has some nice metallic to it. But I don't think it would look right on your car. Another nice color is Classic Copper from the 1970-71 Camaro.

Here's a 70 in Copper:

Do you plan to add accents like your current red stripes or keep it solid?

transmaro93
09-01-2010, 03:57 PM
probably keep the BB stripes... and black sail panel...

KirkEvil

That MSP definitely looks looks good. what color accents would you do with that color? I think a white pearl or something would look nice.

I also kind of like the dark green. That would look cool with black accents and rims

yea i agree with a nice soft white color for stripes with the blue only thing is i think there might be to much color changes if i do blue witha black sail panel and then white stripes so i would probably go with black stripes on most colors i would do and it would look sort of like ghost stripes on the dark color probably only to be seen in the sunlight...

I think you should paint the sail panel if you go MSP. Pearl white accents would look much better than black with that color
