Hmm what do you think? Keep them stock greyish/silver (does anyone have a paint code for this?) or have them painted black to match the car?

I'm undecided..

Here's a pic as it sits:



Since then I've painted the primered front quarter, and I've painted the nose, and it's soon getting a full black repaint.

It's personal preference, however since you brought it up....go black...two-tone is way too dated....unless you are into that sorta thing

Yeah I don't see many (make that none) two tone camaros around here. All have been repainted and are missing their stripes or two tone paint.

I do want to make it look older and not blend in with the newer cars so I'm kind of leaning towards two-tone.

And your car looks awesome drakar, mine will look similar if I do the two-tone.
