Re: 87 trans am paint

By trim do you mean ground effects? I've never seen gray trim. But black rims and birds sounds like it would look pretty sick.

Re: 87 trans am paint

I, personally don't think it would look right. I'd leave the silver on it and put some polished rims on it.

Re: 87 trans am paint

I think you should go with a solid, dark blue color. Then go with the black wheels and a chrome lip. Seen that combination done a few times and can't say i have seen one that i don't like. but that's just my

Re: 87 trans am paint

Welcome to the board. I'd stick with blue and silver,and a silver bird for the hood instead of black.that way there's no to many colors going on.

Just my .02
