what color for my t/a?

what color should i paint my trans am?? it is a light blue with silverish/grey fround effects right now, so it is between the light blue, dark blue, black, black w/ grey ground effects, or red. if anybody has any pics that i can compare that would be great.

Black is the best colour! No stripes, stickers or badges....

Thanks silver 87. I do love my car. Now I just want to put it in the paint shop like you did to yours. YOurs looks like it came out very well. I am partial to red like you are to silver. All my vehicles right now are red. Here is the truck.

I like the Dodge/Jeep Patriot Blue. It would look great on a thirdgen.

That might be my next color choice so paint yours that color so I know how it looks

Keep the ground effects the same color as the car.

They're just the original Gators [Goodyear ZR50 245/50/ZR16] on GTA rims. That photo is a bit of an oldie now - the car now has Falken Ziex 245/255/50/ZR16's on it.

Or how about a bright color like orange or yellow or dark green, not the olive green & polo green found on 90-92 thirdgens.

Yeah they do look good - sadly they don't last forever and new replacements are not easy to find down here in Oz...
