I think I will like it better than if I paint it silver again. It's my DD, I'd like it to be nice, but only want to spend a little bit of the insurance settlement on it, the rest goes to my real car, the 70. Oh, and I'm not really a fan of chrome or wheels that are flashy. Black wheels are flashy in another way and are right at the threshold for me, honestly, but I think I'll go for it. Just thought I'd see what my F-body buds thought.

I'll be prepping and painting the car myself, I have access to a spray booth at school where I am almost finished, my car will be the last car I do. I expect you'll see pictures in about a month, if I get paid that settlement anytime in the next year .

Here's the last car I did:

On a navy blue car it'd look cool if you did the center gunmetal instead of black.

What color do you think I should paint my calipers? I think a lighter, more aluminum blue would look good.

wow, it actually looks better than I thought when I read the thread title... on the black car it looks very good, not sure about how it would look on a blue one though.

If I don't like it, I can paint it silver again, no big deal. I'm giving this a try, though.

the girl yes. the white no

i'd go GUNMETAL or dark grey. black looks awesome with gunmetal and grey. gunmetal is a really dark color but contrasts well with both light and dark colors...not to include white or near white colors. all else included though...like silver or pewter and blue/red/black/orange/green cars look awesome in gunmetal. it's under-rated

If the girl came with the white wheels, I think most all of us would be getting white wheels.

I'd like a slightly darker gunmetal, I'll look around for colors.
