Hey guys, I'm in the middle of body work and I'm prepping for paint. What do you all think for a good sharp color?

My top two favorites are a nice red or a silver. I'm spending the money and doing things right, so if you think pearlescent/metallic/ or whatever, throw it out there.

I like the victory red GM makes the best for red, or a cortez silver. Im worried the silver will hide the chrome accesories though.

Whats a good red?? Post pics if u got em!

I say a metallic deep burgundy with maybe silver flake would look really good I think

Victory red and black all the freakin way...or black with red camaro racing stripes. The stripes that end on a diagonal before the hood terminates. IMO this looks a ton better than when they go over the grill. I almost bought a truck like this...http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/attachment.php?attachmentid=508410&stc=1&d=1256678668

not to thread jack, but for every 5 that do it wrong there's one that does it right. I took pics of it. will post. Usually racing stripes on a truck are garbage, correct.
