Getting my Z28 painted

I'm getting my Z28 painted in a month...problem is I haven't decided on a color...I'm keeping the black on the top but right now's it maroon on the bottom. I'm either going to go one of three routes...Like a metallic blue, hugger orange or a silver.

I have the black C5 Corvette wheels on my car so I'm just trying to mentally picture my car in my head which would look the best.

Pics please?

Is your car a hardtop or T-top?

I wouldn't paint your car, I think the marroon color is awesome, infact if anything, I would just have the roof painted to match. But if you do anything, definietly get the roof painted to match whatever color you do, I think the cars look stupid with the black roofs.

My car is T-Top...I honestly don't care for the maroon too much. I was thinking the candy apple red route as well but lately the hugger orange look is pulling me in

Either bright blue metallic or sunset orange metallic would look great.

Really? O_o



Maybe you just mean '98-'02 cars. Ehhhhh... Z28s should always have a black roof to me, but I think the '98-'02 SSes look great with body colored everything.

Since it's T-top, I'd have the roof halo painted body color. My 30th anniversary Z is that way and I think it looks badass.

*shameless photo whoring*
