'87 Z28 that needs some love

Hey guys, I finally got enough dough together for a new paint job, I just don't know what I want to paint it. I would appreciate it if someone could maybe photoshop some ideas for me b/c I can't figure out this d@mn program. I have pics from every angle of the car, here's one of them so you can see what I'm working w/. I really appreciate it.....

paint the GFX and wheels, just stay away from the louvers, seeing as you already have tinted windows

I don't know how I want to paint it, that's the problem.....something like a forest green would be nice, or maybe a yellow w/ black stripes through the car. That would look kinda cool w/ the T-tops and all. Sorry I'm not proficient at photoshop myself, all I can do is white out the plates.....My dream color is a jet black car w/ metallic green through it to make it sparkle.......I think I also have two posts going on for this, sorry guys....my fault. Thanks for what there is so far and anything else you can spit out

I like this for a two-tone paint scheme. I also added some center caps, those always make the stock 5-stars look better.

who ever did that first pic...that purple looking thing with the bling bling rims..that looks stupid let me tell you. But that second pic with the Blue and grey ground FX ...that looks tight.:lala:

Tell you what...wait to paint and get that engine under the hood so you can run it. After you do that, Look into getting a Z-28 rear spoiler and then paint the car so you will match. The rims are fine just need some touching up. After that its all about what the inside looks like ya know with a shift kit and some neons on that ho. then work on the system with some upgraded speakers.
Then and only then will
The lightning's Z-28 and the D-man's
RS will rule the streets. Thinking about it...... ok Im good now.
