What color?

Well I am looking at getting my berly painted next summer and just wondering what color do you think I should paint it. It was recently black and I did not like it just cause it showed all the dust and also got realy hot if it sat out in the sun but it looked realy good after wax so I might paint it black again.

Metallic charcoal silver is a great looking color.The darker hues give the luster of black(the charcoal grey used on '80-'81 2nd gens come to mind -my '80 T/A was this color and looked great with the silver leather interior).

How about doing a tu-tone with the charcoal silver and candy apple red using the upper body line as the break.I've seen a couple on here like that(although I can't remember which ones).Just another though.

Another good idea. I am not sure, I have been thinking I might not paint it. cause I might sell it and buy a better 3rd gen with a V8. I kind of want a 1982-1984 Firebird or a 1986-1992 camaro.

I'm a huge fan of white. It is an extremely good color, it stays cooler in the sun, it won't fade, and best of all in my opinion, it hides dirt the best. Also alot of accent colors go well with it. good luck!

Long time, but I put a blue door on my car and I think it looks good so I might paint it that color, what do you think?

I know its a site about american muscle but you cant beat british racing green really just looks great on any well designed cars it is the test of weather or not the car has some nice lines. Im a big fan of black and/or two tone jobs. Especially bold racing stripes. (green w/ white, black w/ most colors, blue with yellow, yellow with black, or red with white)

what ever you choose make sure you get some good paint like HOK or PPG
