Default New paint

I just got the car on Tues and these pics are from Wed. We started to just fix a few chips in the hood and bumper and now we're repainting the whole car. The only decision now is wether to keep it all black or add some sort of stripes or small graphics. What do you guys think. I'm leaning toward something on the side, but not too big. I dont want the car to look like every other Z28 out there.

I've got most of the body work done. Also shaved then antenna. Should be painted wed or thurs. I'm debating on gray hockey stripes or just all black with red Z28 emblems.

Wow, looks great. I like the wheels too. I like the idea of flat black stripes too. Subtle but classy.
