Ok, paint scheme time? Ok, time to decide what color to paint the Cannibal. I'm up for any color that will STAND OUT like a ****! I'll pull the motor, etc out so that the engine bay can be done, etc.
I'm thinking a super pimpy yellow, Lamborghini bronze color, whatever, so let me hear your opinions.....

Re: Ok, paint scheme time? Yellow would get old really quickly. I'd still think Admiral Blue would be the best all-around kick *** color, and you wouldn't have to paint under the hood:

Or maybe Storm Gray like my GMC and have those Racing Hart centers painted to match. That would be euro.

Re: Ok, paint scheme time? Electron blue, admiral blue or or that new grey color that the vettes come in would be my votes. I know that the car is blue now but a different kind of blue would be cool.

Re: Ok, paint scheme time? I'd vote for that Bronze, I'd avoid any factory GM color and then it will really stand out. Don't go yellow everyone will think it's a CE wannabee.
My friend just painted his Chevelle Prowler Orange.
Lime green would be cool!

Re: Ok, paint scheme time? Altho this was a camaro, there's a guy on the board who pained his Z28 that House of Color that dark red color...not like SOM, or Cayenne red or anything, but its a deeeeep red. Looks really sweet, and on a TA, esp w/ a name like Cannibal it'd stand out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Personally...i hate yellow and green cars. Just not my style. I love deep, dark colors. To me, thats what catches my eye <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
If you want to be somewhat original, try an older GM color called Steel Blue Metallic. (some call it Cobalt Blue) Its not quite a silver, but its got a good amount of blue in it too. Its a sweet color...but im biased being i see it every day on my dads vette <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Other then that...i'd have to say a deep red, or blue.

Re: Ok, paint scheme time? My vote would be a nice deep candy orange with some yellow pearl thrown on with the clear coat. My other favorite color is Graphite Gray (like mine). But what would really stand out would be a car that glows in the dark (I guess it would only be noticable at night though.) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: Ok, paint scheme time? I'm looking to shoot the car the same color but add about 4 layers of pearl to it and 3 coats of clear. They guys is gonna shoot some mocked up panels for me so I can see what it would look like. I'd say it'd be just subtle enough
