What color is best?
Here is my problem...
I can affoard a paint job through this guys I know and I want to paint my car a different color than it is now. The only problem is, my interior and wheels are both tan. I certainly do not have enought $$$ to buy new wheels and interior. What color should I paint this car to go with my wheels and interior? All comments are appreciated.

black and tan are always good cuz black goes with everything
blue red black are good colors to go with tan
but black is best IMO

if your car is the one in the picture and it really needs to be repainted i would have a professional redo it to look 100% factory. that is one beautiful car in the picture. leave it the way it is

I was thinking about doing a deep red and keep my gold/tan ground effects and wheels. I think that might tie the red to the tan interior. What do you think?

Ok, I think I'm going to paint the car red. Now I have a couple more questions...
Before I can paint my car I have to fix some dents. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to apply the BONDO stuff? Secondly, where do I go to get some paint samples so I know what color I want to choose?
