Color Scheme
I'll admit, it's at minimum year, maybe two down the road, but I am wondering what color to paint the outside of my car.
I am rebuilding it from the ground up, it's all torn apart now. Motor and tranny out right now getting rebuilt. Interior, completely gutted.
In process of purchasing everything to convert to black interior (except plastics, I have painted them). So carpet, door panels, Arm resets, seat belts, etc.
I am 100% sold obviously on black interior, but I couldn't be more mixed up on exterior.. I want one of the following.
100% percent black, everything.
Or, White body, with a mix up black ground effects, paint my GTA wheels black in the center, and spoiler black, vents on GTA hood and fenders black, etc.
Would that look tacky or go with all black? Also, the car is currently a dark dark dark blue, that looks black.

Re: Color Scheme
I did a Google search on White/Black Trans Am's and didn't return much.
Only this.. If paint were in better condition, what do you guys think?

Re: Color Scheme
I don't hate it, don't love it. A little bland perhaps? And too many used car lots in my neck of the woods with all the cars rockers painted black...to hide the rust. So maybe I have a bias against this look for that reason.

Re: Color Scheme
Color is such a personal choice.
I have seen white cars with silver ground effects, and thought they looked nice.
