What Color Should I paint my SE?
I don't know what my plans are for this car but I do know that the paint needs to be redone.
Do you have any suggestions as to what color. I have a red bird already and I don't want black. The interior is tan.
...photoshoppers have fun if you want to.
Thanks for all input.

i have an 84 s/e that is the exact same color as yours. I'm thinking about repainting and i think im going to keep it the same color. I kind of like it that color.

If you don't care about being original or changing colors, I'd go with 'electron blue' I think it's called. On the new vettes I think, stared on the 405HP Z06, but I think you can get it on the normal 'vettes now too. I think it's also the color of the Civic Si's, so shoot me, I still like the color

Since black is out and you have a beige interior, I think hunter green would look cool. I don't think silver would look good with a beige interior.

Thanks for the input everyone.
I was considering a dark green. I saw a 67 Firebird with a beautiful dark metalic green paint with a tan interior. Awsome. I am also a huge fan of the navy blue metallic. I have seen and actually sat in a Z06 electron blue corvette. I was in love with it. Oh the car was great too!
Im very partial to navy blue and silver. I thought of painting the car silver too. I was looking for a new Grand Am (finally bought one) and my favorites were white and silver. I ended up with a white one.
So many choices!!
Keep sending me your thoughts. I want my car to be unique.
thanks again!

This is my strong opinion and you don't have to like it I guess. But I don't want to change the front end on the 84 for any reason.
To me the front end is what makes the early birds unique. DONT get me wrong I love the new front ends say on the GTA and Trans Am especially the front ends on the 91-92.
I don't want to have a firebird that everyone else has. There arent many of these birds still on the road with this style nose and rear.
Plus that is why I bought my 84's because of the front and rear bumpers.
Just my rant.
