Color Combos
So I wanna repaint my 83 trans am from the stock red to either a black or a burnt orange.
What do you think of these ideas?

Option 1: Everything jet black

Option 2: Jet black with gold bird and pinstripes and gold decals

Option 3: Burnt orange with black handles, mirror, spoiler,
headlight pockets and front bumper grills, black decals

Option 4: All burnt orange with no decals, and black handles.

Option 5: Color scheme of your own (please describe)

2 is classic and 3 might look to much like halloween 4 and 1 are not a bad choice eithor you might want to see how much the pinstriping and mutipal color things will cost painting can cost a lot

Here is the orange I have an image of.

I guess it sort of marroon/orange

As for the painting, my buddy and I are gonna do most of the body work ourselves.

I already painted the interior floor pans and stuff black over summer with por 15.

Interior wise, I am just going to remove the door panels and roll the windows up and paint the door and door jambs. I dont really want to pull the windows but I will get under the weatherstripping.

It may not be 'perfect' but it will be clean. And since I never plan on letting go of this car devalueing it doesn't mean much to me. I love it and that is all that matters.

since the other stuff is black you might as well go with black and the gold pinstripping.

this could be very intersting just dont over do it.

Hmm.. I think Id stay away from the Burnt Orange with black accents. Like Bart said.. you don't wanna be driving around a Halloween car everyday of the year. Very Happy

BTW, two thumbs up on doing it yourself. I want to do that with the next F-body I get... save myself THOUSANDS and there is something to be for doing all the work on your car.
