Painting my RS

In about 2 weeks or so I am going to be painting my 1990 Camaro RS. I am thinking about 2 ways of painting it. One way is to just repaint the whole car one color. The second way is to paint the whole car but paint the ground effects a silver color. I just want to know what you would do. Thanks!

Re: Painting my RS

Have you seen pics of cars with two colors? I believe alot of the early and mid gen cars came two colors. There is a nice blue body color with gray trim. I have also seen white with gold trim, black with gold trim and red with gray trim. Here are some links to some pics.

I can't make the call for you. Something you will have to consider. I like these cars all one color but they don't look bad with two colors either. The styling of these cars is awesome so pretty much and color looks good. What color is your car now? Update us after the paint job!
