originally i was going to go with grey on the bottom, blue stripe and black on top. the grey is still up in the air but i think most likely im gonna go with the light blue on the bottom, but factory 88 silver blue (code 33 i think). ive loved that color ever since i had my 1st sport that color. the paint i used was just to get an idea of how it would look. it was some light blue truck and van pain. way too blue and not enough silver for my taste.

nate...i love the white on top, grey on the botom and the blue stripe, or white.....either would look sweeet.

Nate, I really like the look of the white strip with the black moulding.

Shame, I like the idea of the light blue on the bottom as well.

Hmm, maybe I should break up the monotany of my car

Nah.

I like the white stripe better. With the blue stripe it looks too much like a late 80's Mustang GT factory paint job.

blue stripe deffinately part of mine is blue I havent gotten it all finished even though its the only blue on the car at the current point it doesnt look bad but then Im a big fan of blue. I love the two tone design as well thats about how mine is gonna be but its gonna be blue and black instead of white and grey.

Thats the beauty of it all. These cars ARE 80's cars.

I know but I prefer something unique and not so Mustangish. That's why I like the white stripe better.

i don't have photoshop, but here's me using microsoft paint (woohoo me:shoothead )....
anyway, you get the idea... i think it looks smoother and less flashy with the stripe matching the bottom color instead of the white

I'd go with the first picture's color scheme and do the moulding inlay of that in white.

it pays to have the right tools, unfortunately, i don't think i ever do:stupid:

p.s. if it could be shown right, i agree, just the white and grey with the white stripe looks sharp

IMHO, the white on grey with black beltmoulding and blue stripe looks the best

I agree with everyone voting on the blue. The bird I got looks almost like blackjacks (cept mine isnt as shiny. and the rear bumper cover doesnt match the car. and its missing the trim on one side.) Same color though. The two browns honestly Im not to fond of but what can I say I got a good deal on the car. If I remember right the blue I used was saphire blue or something like that its a darker blue with metal flakes in it. I painted part of the trim before kansas decided to rain on me. and it looks really good even on the brown. and from the picture it looks good on white and grey too. If I had to pick from the choices I would pick the blue first followed by the grey in second. the white just sticks out way to much IMO.
Honestly it seems alot of people on the board dislike the wide py trim they put on our cars to begin with. The white being that bright compared to the black of the trim as well as the grey under it actually tends to draw attention to the trim instead of direct it away from it which is what I think looks better.
Getting the attention off the trim and onto the rest of the car makes it look sharp.The idea of painting the trim grey like the bottom actually looks pretty descent but instead of a white stripe maybe try a black one something other then that bright white.
