Getin my car painted
I just want some opinions as to what color to paint my car i was thinking white with two red stripes but if any body else has any better color schemes I would like to hear them. I was thinkin of the white/red combo mostly cause I have those 2 colors already.

I didn't do anything my sister gave me the car cause she said it was a piece of crap but i have had it for two weeks and have not had any problems. the tire is that way cause she never checked the tire pressure and it got low so the outer tread wore away and when i left the wheel out in the sun it heated up and the tread came off.

i like this car cause it is the fastest i have owned and though it only has a v6 and just about anything can beat me i would rather have the gas mileage for now. also what is supposed to cover the center of the wheels? is there a cap or something?

Car: candy blue 85 z28
Engine: 305 tpi LB9
Transmission: 700r4 crazy beefed up one
Axle/Gears: ones with teeth
that rim also has a crome trim ring the center cap is big follows the gooves covers the lugs and has a chevy emblem on it. i would do white with the red or black stripes and give it the pearl treatment before clear so it has some sparkle to it, maybe a blue and red pearl would give a nice affect in the sun.

well if I were you I wouldn't just repaint that car as is. I would get some used 85-90 gfx or even better used 91-91 gfx. then swap those seats for fourth gen seats, then paint

Well right now i wish i could but i only have about $45 to use
But i did find a rear spoiler for $50. It's gona be my birthday preasent from my parrents. and this is by far not the final color that will be a metalic silver. I'm just tired of my car looking like Crap. plus the Red/white paint is free from my boss. Should I paint the area for lights black or leave them white?
