What do you think is the best color for a bird? im getting my painted soon. right now its dark red which is nice, but im thinking of maybe a brighter color. maybe Malibu red or Ferrari red? i also like jet black ones though. opinions? pics?

 

Jet black But that's just me tho.

 

I like black as well. Try a search, I know there have been "favorite color" posts before.

 

Med. Maui Blue Metallic.

 

metallic blueish mixed with metallic purple... also make it electric... basically, something that screams out, "HI! I"M A SEXY BEAST!"... Or... do the same thing, but w/ the orange color, kinda like.. i duno who, but whoever has the orange one w/ t-tops & ram air hood & always has the pix w/ his/her car by the waterfall... tis a sexy car. BUt.. ya.. or black.

 

Bright Red for Camaros, Black for Firebirds.

Have fun taking care of black though, and red is just the hottest most attention getting color IMO.

 

Chrome Yellow i am gonna paint my car Chrome Yellow when i get cash for it i was quoted $4,000 for a color change on my car (it's bright red now) but i gotta do up the suspension this winter for next years autocross season

 

if i got a bird, it would have to be black

 

red and silver two tone .red rules.

 

Guess i'm different, but I like the color of my T/A

 

Sports cars=red!

 

I'd go candy apple red.

 

Go with bright red, looks the best on any thirdgen.

 

I always thought gun metal grey or platinum silver would be the way to go if I ever painted my bird a different color

 

Factory drk. blue over silver gets my vote.

 

Silver for sure.

97-1LE: My TA looks to be the exact color your's is. What is the name of the shade?(if there is one)

Matt

 

Gotta have black

 

ask yourself this.. if Red wasnt the best color on a bird, they why did they put it on the Firehawks? lol

I want red with black trim as it is currently or black with red trim if I were to paint her. Just to experice both worlds ya know?

 

I always liked gunmetal gray. I always did think that color looked good on any thirdgen.

 

Matto85, the color on the T/A is galaxie silver pearl.

 

It could be me but there is something about any year Bird in grey primer that just looks good.

But of course a black paint job you can walk into is neat-o too.

Matt

 

My 91 is in primer... but it's about 4 or 5 different colors of it... so it doesn't look so good... lol

 

Thanks 97-1LE.
I'll try to get a pic up as soon as I get a digi-camera. I know my buddy wants to get a pic if my '85 TA and his '89 Formula togather.

Matt

 

Matto 85: i should have some new pictures up in about a week. Got rid of those ugly wheels and went with some AF Italla 16 X 8's that I used on one of my 4th gen Camaro's. They look good on the T/A.

 

Project_1986_TA - your car is awesome.

 

Thanks for the complement kerryismygirl89!
