Default Another what color paint thread

Me and my girl finally got some debt paid off, and got raises at work. So we have more money coming in and can build this beast more than it is.

Here are my ideas

Option 1. Paint the car white. Do the Ceta, Black ZR1's. Tan interior.

Option 2. Same as one, but leave it black interior, just NEW black interior.

Option 3. Repaint it black (like it is) and throw on some nice chrome Z06 wheels and New black interior.

Option 4. I kinda like the bright blue color with some nice chrome rims, like the one on the youtube trans am compilation (from corndoggydawg at 1 min 23-27 seconds.

That is all my option for now, if you have a better idea than feel free to throw it down there.

I say do any of them besides option 1, I just don't think you should get tan interior.
I think 3 or 4 would look the best, the blue t/a at 1 min 23 seconds is a sweet car/color for sure!!

Edit: I'm going to vote for option 4, but I think a nice set of wheels (CCW, Iforged, Fikse, etc.) would pull it off better.

I'd go with 3 unless the cost of a total re-color is not an issue. I like black cars with blue striping somewhat like Electron Blue. Just me though.

You can take your family to the cosmetics section of a big store and look at fingernail polish. This will make your girl happy and give you a quick idea of colors and shades. Sometimes it's better that looking at paint sample books.

I also think you should'nt get tan interior, too easy to mess up, get eaither black or graphite. A color change can cost $$$$$, I do like the black w/ Electron Blue or even Gunmetal grey double racing stripes idea as long as it is'nt a T-top

i would say paint it white, do a black manta stripe that extends to the end of the hatch, get the hood scoop fill decal in black, black wheels. That would look real good!!

Well i local shop quoted me 1k to lay the paint on for me given that all the body work and paint prep is previously done. I didnt think that was a bad deal? They said that is using all dupont materials. And would take about a week or two working it in around other vehicles. +175 for each jam if i decided to change the color.

Also found Some badass 2007 zo6 wheels white or chrome for 600 shipped. Brand new,17x9.5 in the front, 18x10.5 in the back. I think they are replicas, but its weird with replicas having those sizes i thought?
