Default Color Scheme

Just recently got myself a 2002 Camaro Z28. It's Metallic Pewter.
I was wondering if any of you guys could throw out some ideas on a second color to use for like my emblems, wires, ect.
I've seen black and yellow, red and white, black and white, etc.
I've never seen pewter mixed with anything.
Any ideas are welcome. Thanx in advance.

There are lots of colors that would look good with it. It's just what you want. Personally, I would do red or chrome under the hood and inside. And black for the emblems and fill-ins and what not.

Metalic charcoal looks good on pewter for the eblems and fill-ins. I would use the same color for a few engine bay accents also. Red on pewter is too... San Francisco 49ers. TOO much contrast is a bad thing. Less is more, if ya know what I mean? Pewter is so subtle and low-key. Red is so, in yo face. Some red accent in the engine bay (when done right) can look good.

It all depends on what look you are trying to acheive.
