Question painting car...ideas/thoughts?

Ok I just got a black 98 Z28. The car has been painted black but was originally black.

I'm not sure where I want to go as far as a paint job. I love Red SS's but I'm not going to clone the Z. I'll have a extended Sunoco hood on it.

It's going to be a drag car only but I have to buy a new door and bumper and with the shitty paint on it now there would be no way to match the new panles up or I would just leave it.

So any ideas??

So far I'm picking between black or red but I am open to any good ideas.

Maybe a satin black even...

Personally, I think Red hardtop Z/28s with the roof and mirrors left black are one of the best looking f bodies.

As for the topic,I think you should go back black. Black cars w/sunocos look killer.

Semi-flat black. Evil, no-nonsense, just hand wash it and skip the wax.

your the reason the car isn't red right now

It's looking like it will be satin black.. with the VFN extended sunoco hood!

It wont get painted for a long time though. I'm moving to Wyoming to go to WyoTech where I will back half the car and finnish out the cage from a 8.5 to a 25.5.... I need a color for the cage I wonder if Red would be to BAM!!

That will be one of the baddest cars around in satin black. I honestly think a red cage with black padding would look awesome. Have you thought about a red harrell stripe on the side of the sunoco? What all red accents will you have?

not sure if I would like the red stripes on the hood. (I know what ones your talking about) I think I will have my shop name in red where those stripes would be at. I will have the red on the retro Z/28 badges.. a Black billit grill with the retro badge (either the Z/28 or the blue bowtie) and a sheet metal wing coming off the back of the car. (not a ricer wing!)
