what should i do?what would u do?

k i cant deside and i need help. well i just got a z28 that was just painted red about 1 year ago so paint is still nice except the bumper was hit and needs to be repainted and the noes was also scraped and need to be repainted. now i could just have the bumper and noes painted and the whole car is perfect.
but it will be red. or i can get it all painted the same colour blue as my firebird. i want it blue but it was just painted red and i could save alot of money if i left it red, but i hate red, and some people tell me keep it red and some say blue... what should i do i cant decide???

I'm a fan of blue.

But, the main point here is - if you want the car blue, paint it blue.

Its your car, not any of ours. If you aren't going to be totally happy with the color, then I think the answer is obvious.

Remember when making your decision to factor in the added cost of joor/trunk jambs and the engine bay. If you leave those red with the outside blue it wont look good (IMO)...

Just more food for thought.

I dunno fast... While you're savin up for the paintjob (won't be cheap with the color change extras) give it some thought. If you still want blue, by all means, make the car what you want it. However, if the red does grow on you, as fast said. You'll have all that money for engine/ suspension upgrades

The only right choice is the one that makes you happy, regardless of cost. Good luck
