Question Need some paint ideas from you guys for my 69 Prostreet..

My car is undergoing a major transformation right now and im trying to decide 100% on which way im going. Either same blue (intense blue) or viper blue which is darker.. and I am going to put the black hockey stripes down the sides but should I put the black top back on it or no? My thoughts are Viper blue with the black top and stripes.. wheels will be the new weld Rt-s wheels (was gonna get the black anodized ones) Thoughts? Here it is as of now...color wise

I say no top. I personally like the Blue and silver combo that you already have. The only issue that I see is if you go with the darker blue the black gets harder to see

There actually pewter stripes.. if i did keep this combo which RT-s would ya say the full polished ones or the black anodized ones? Im not looking to make the car flashy.. I kinda like the darker feel/theme

That flat black with the pained stripe does look sick!!! I could do without the pinstripe and hood though. I really like the color blue you have on it now with the stripes no black top.

If you're gonna do it, its matte/satin/semi-gloss black, not flat black. Flat black is like primer. You want it to look stealthy, not ghetto fabulous.

What do you think of this??? This is my car I drive it everywhere. Just got it done (almost) this year. Factory Lemans Blue (Dupont paint). If ya go with Dupont their paint dont have alot of pigment,but a whole lot of binder. We had trouble with it coloring out,but we got it done.
