i would go all dark blue, with the silver ann. stripes, and leave the roof black, but paint the spoiler blue, AND then paint around the tail lights black, like the 2002 zl-1 camaro supercar.

Re: Paint question...

Keep the spoiler blue.. It'l look much better..

Throw a little blue pearl into the silver stripes.. they'l look real cool.. almost like ghost stripes depending on how much pearl you put in

Re: Paint question...

ahh god no! i hate decals..

Get them painted on when you get the car painted.. It looks a hundred times better, and if you have an honest bodyman.. (if your not doin it yourself) it wont cost a lot.. The guy who did my car, painted the 25th anniv. stripes on my 91' for free..

I love them painted on, they wont fade and you wont get wax build up on them

Re: Paint question...

it all depends.. It varies so much.. WHere I live, the average body shop rate is $85.00hr CDN..
So to get an average vehicle painted is about $4000.. What I did to save money is strip all the parts off the car myself.. (everything that a body shop would normally take off..) and re-assembled it after it was all painted.. I saved at least $1500-$2000 in labour costs..
