A little different

Alright so my friend has a 91 RS and it'll need a paint job in a year or less. Now, our radical idea. Paint it in the old Z28 two tone style, with a hugger orange top and baby blue bottom. Then paint his 15" car colored wheels baby blue also. It might be a bit tacky with the red interior, but what are your opinions? A little different, eh?

IMO orange and blue do NOT look good together! Colored rims look gross too, sorry but thats my opinion

My opinion? Ok, it will look bad, very very bad. Seems like a waste of a paint job.

Baby blue

If I were you I'd just repaint it black and have the wheels chromed. Blue and orange no way.

Unless your favorite college team is the University of Illinois (Also where I live when not at school) I highly oppose it. Blue with with orange accents or Orange with blue accents I find acceptable.


By the way, Blue and orange is not 2 tone, its 2 colors. For it two be a tone it has to be a lighter or darker shade, like light blue over dark blue.
