Default Keep it this color or paint it all black.....

I have been pondering the idea of painting my car but dont know if I want to keep it the 2 tone color or paint it all one solid color.... I was thinking of all black....I just bought some CCW classics with a black center and polished lip..... Any opinions or pics of color schemes would help Thanks..

Post up some photos with the new wheels. That is really the only way to determine what you should do, after all, wheels make a car.

The color is nice, but from the front it just looks like you got a new hood and haven't gotten it painted yet.

I don't really like that purple or whatever they call it color, so I would say go all black.

If you like that color, well then listen to everyone else.

Its is a unpainted hood ut wanted to keep it black if I painted it the same color. Burgandy and black..... Black hood, black top, and black tail...... with some kind of starting point from of the car. Like the color because it is different but want a stealthier look.
