I was thinking silver might look good, but with black stripes I think just about any color grey would look good. I'm also partial to charcoal grey.

Here is a pic of my 1982 Z28 that I had before I bought my Trans Am. It was the stock 1982 Silver. Really a cool color, but, since it was original it had seen better day, it was kinda "grey" maybe just because of the age, but I always thought that white or dark grey stripes on it would look killer.



Ive got more pics if you want em
