I just bought an '86 Trans Am with a '89 GTA 350 TPI in it. It's got T-tops, performance suspension, Performance sound,... all the goodies. I just recently ripped out the interior (Not a pretty sight!!) and I'm Restoring the whole thing... There is one problem... I cannot decide on a color scheme! ANY imput would help me decide... What do you think?!?

These are the color scheme's i was thinking of, if you have any other good ideas, please tell!
By the way the original color was blue, now it is plum.

1)Black w/gold bird on hood and decals and chrcl/blck/gld interior.
2)Black w/charcoal bird and decals and chrcl/blck int
3)Black w/red bird and decals and blck/rd int
4)Black on Black
5)Red w/black bird and red/black int
6)Blue w/white bird blue/white int
7)Black cherry........??????????????
????
?
I can't decide? Please help, any imput appriciated!!!!!
the first 3 are my fav!

 

I have trouble getting past the hood bird- I'm against that altogether. That having been said, either red w/ black interior, or black w/ red interior. 'Course, I myself would do something weird- most likely, I'd paint it gold (like on new Suburbans and other GM trucks, I forget the exact color name), add red highlights, and do the interior in charcoal. I like distinctive cars.

 

Yeah I'm still debateing wether I should get a ram air hood and forget the bird of keep my GTA hood and put one off or i might just ditch the bird idea, see I need major ideas, I wanna start on the interior soon, but without knowing what colors i wan i can't do anything! The exterior planning will come next I just need ideas on basic colors......... I don't know about gold though I'm not that outgoing, thanks for the thought though

 

It's a good sort of gold, more bronze really... I'll see if I can find a pic.

Anyway, I definitely approve of the ram air idea, especially if it's functional. Much better than the hood bird.

 

I would go with black with charcoal bird and black interior.

 

Yeah I like black and gray,... I'm still thinking about the bird though, because as you know a functioning ram air hood would feed my engine, being a TPI, more than enough air, and I think that's what I'm going to lean towards... but then there is a thought that comes up, Will the ram air hood look cool with a bird custom painted.... or would that just be stupid and a knockoff, a custom T/A trying to look original. But then again cirtain people would praise the attempt to combine the best of both worlds.
