Default What color to PAINT

Hi everybody!

I'm getting ready for new paint but can't make up my mind what color to paint her! This is my problem to go original (White) or repaint it the same color throphy blue. So what's everybodys opinon on original or the color you like best?

Considering I would prefer the original color on my midyear, if I had one, and my favorite color on Vettes is white…

Nice looking car and color! Paint it with the color you like best, unless you plan on selling it, then paint it white.

Is that pic taken in St. Ignace?

I'd paint it the color you want :yesnod:

You may want to check out the Nassau blue used on 1998-2000 C5s, it's similar to LeMans blue, but a bit brighter.

IF you have a BB style hood, like I do, well...MY idea is when my car needs repainting...I plan on blending that hood shape into the centerpiece of a SR71 blackbird that the shape resembles....and ghost in black the wings/engines.....in a super dark blue top section, then follow the plan of the Mako Shark show cars...fade to white on bottom....

...I would not Go white...
I would go white for two reasons: it's the original color and the blue interior would be an eye popper with the white. Trust me--she would be beautiful in white. ;)

If you plan to keep it, paint it the color you prefer. If you plan on selling anytime soon, go with the original color.
