What color should I paint my baby?

[toomuchtorque]

My vette was hit in the parking lot where I work pretty hard causing about $1800 worth of damage and I had another hit and run in front of my house costing $800 so I'm going to put the money together and get a paint job. Its currently a blue-ish purple with holographic flake and pinstriping. Its beautiful, but too expensive to maintain/match. Anyway, what color should I get (only dark colors)?

I have always had a thing for black corvettes. When they are standing tall there is no comparison with any other color.

I voted for electric blue. I think that's a cool color. You have to remember to paint those brake calipers to match, though.

Down here in the south I like my white, even though it shows every speck of dirt, (no big thing to me), that combined with the tan interior keeps it a little cooler. The other day I drove it into work and I forgot to drape my towel over the steering wheel (Black Leather). At first I thought third degree burns to the inside of the fingers and can I pry them off.

But in California, I'd really support the midnight blue, especially if you have a tan (fawn) interior. I recently saw a C5 Vert, midnight blue with tan leather interior, and even my OL made a remark about it, and her idea of a car is it gets her from one place to another.

Lots of luck with the work of repair and reshoot.

with a tan, black or white interior the black cherry would be gorgeous.

My vote is for black, not that I'm a little biased or anything ...

Yea I would also have to agree. I don't think you can go wrong with black on any year vette.

I've seen black, it seems a bit boring. Although it may be that the black vettes I've seen were faded. I have to say I'm still leaning towards blue...ahhh this is so difficult!

Darker colors are the hardest to keep clean so be aware of that. My black shows every spec of water spots!

Sorry to hear about all the beatings your baby has taken recently.

Midnight Blue!


Hope the abuse does not continue to happen.
