Help Me Decide my paint colors Please!!

HI everybody, my dad just gave mehis 1984 z28 and the body is immaculate, only one problem I hat the color coordination. it is that off white kinda color and gold ground effects, along with the black hood "louvers" anyways, one of the first appearance mods that I want is a paint job and I cannot decide what I want. so here is what I have narrowed it down to. Paint the whole thing white including louvers and put orange rally stripes down the middle kinda like the 1997 anniversary model. or paint it black and paint the louvers cherry or victory red. or paint the thing black and put a cowl hood on it and paint red rally stripes down the middle kind of the opposite of the 70 chevelle 454ss. anyways, let me know what you think and if you have any pics of cool color combos please post 'em.

thanks a lot,
ryan

I've always been a fan of that paint scheme. I would say keep the good looks of that paint (keep it vintage looking), but really beef up the motor. The perfect sleeper car tight there!

Black with orange sripes, red stripes would look sweet too. Silver with red stripes? Be creative, good luck.

thanks a lot for all your guys' help!! My dad and I decide that we will paint it white with orange stripes because it will be in color coordination with all of the race cars we work on (hugger orange 1970 GTO and white with orange stripes 1957 chevy)

thanks again for all your opinions and just to let you know I considered all of them before deciding.

thanks again,
Ryan
