Everyone post pics of your paint job!

So as everyone can see, my '86 Iroc is VERY blue, I'd love it if some people posted pics of some original or nice paint jobs. I'm trying to figure out a nice way to incorporate more black in the car, without silly black plastic light covers. I was thinking of getting "IROC-Z" painted black, along with blacked out badges. As everyone knows, making our third gens look good is extremely hard, due to the straight lines, so I'm interested in other people's ideas. My thinking machine died.

You can always do little things too like repaint any of the metal window trim with black paint. SEM makes good stuff.

Yeah I was thinking about doing the windsheild pillars black. Once I get the windows tinted decently dark I think it'd come together neat.

I've had the area around my windshield painted black for a long time now. My T/A is red. People look at it and know it's different but they don't know why. I really like the way it looks.
