Paint Scheme

I have been thinking about paint scheme I know that Dark cars with even darker ground efx is not very popular because they say it makes the car look taller. I was thinking of getting my car painted original code 27 Dark Blue Mettalic(1984 Stock) and code 87 dark gunmetal(1989 RS color) for the ground efx and accents like the headlight buckets and fake air scoops on the hood. The reason I wanted to go dark I really like the dark HP EVO wheels so I wanted tot try to carry the wheel color onto the car to keep with a Blue/Grey theme. I am also going to upgrade to the 85-90 rear bumper and side skirts I like the vented front valence so it will stay. If someone would like to Photoshop my car to the above specs that be great cause I am not very good with Photoshop.

This wheel and color for GFX

I would go with code 27 all over. The wheels you want should be fine with that color. You then can send the welds to me! lol.


No kidding, I think the solid code 27 with those wheels will work just fine. Dont go two tone. You can always get it painted solid, then if you dont like it, just paint the other parts the gray.


I remember back in 90' a guy had a car with the code 27 all over with silver/gray 5-spoke rims and it looked great. I thought about painting my car the same color untill I saw the viper blue.

do not change it , it looks good the color and the gfx, i like the two tone. Get some rims like crazyhawaiian had, boyd makes them and they would look good on the car. I dont think you should paint the whole car for rims , the car looks good the color it is , i think you should find rims that will work with the car the way it is . And darker gfx than the car is really a no no , its really makes it look lifted and not as good lookin .
