Paint Color Suggestions...
It's time for me to decide on a color for my 1991 Firebird. I am almost done straightening the body,and my new fender arrives tomorrow. I should have it fully primed and ready to spray by Monday next week. If anyone has some 91-92 Firebird pics to help me decide onthe color, please post em
My car was originally a dark metallic grey. I have seen a few 3rd gens with deep jade color, and they look amazing. I don't have the bronze rims to back that up though... Any ideas?
<edit> I should mention that on the right door and quarter panel I have done a little bondo work that might be visible under good light. Colors that are forgiving are probably a better bet.

Most of the pictures in the thirdgen gallery are pretty crappy. I guess you guys are spending your moeny on the car rather than things like digital cameras
Well, I'm done my bondo and almost done my sanding. I think the hardest repair was the front nose cover... Anyway, I havn't decided on a color yet. Lately I have been thinking about a deep purple, or green. Noting else really appeals to me. Blues and reds don't suite this vehicle, black is to unforgiving, and white is always dirty
.
Does anyone have some good pictures of their green or purple thirdgens?
