Default Grand Sport painted C3?

Does any one have any pictures of a C3 painted like a 96 GS?

Uh, no, I wouldn't consider his what I mean.

I'm talking Admiral Blue with ONE white stripe.

Like this...

Chris, Olivers is close enough to use for a good idea of how it will look.

I have seen the Admiril Blue on a C-3 and it is great looking. I would almost want to use an L-88 hood on it and let the L-88 stripe start the scheme and continue to the back.

Anyway you want to do it will look good. That is a great combination of color and stripe for a C-3. IMHO it will probably look better on the C-3 than it does on the C-4.

Thanks for the opinion, but I really would like to see a one stripe.... and if I can have it ALL, I'd like to see a 76 or newer :D
