Black is good if you keep it clean

Bright *** day-glo yellow with gold, silver, copper, and orange prism pearl and about 8 coats of clear over white primer and bright silver midcoat with 2 coats of clear between the silver, yellow and pearl coats.

Atomic Orange would look good on that vette. But hey if you really like White you should pick a white -- you are the one that is going to live with it. Just because there are a lot of white ones out there, so what, this one is yours. Just remember every time you go out and look at it or get in it, you want to be the proud owner.

Man, you guys are awesome, awesome site watwheel, totally sweet! I really can't keep a car clean... plus, I like to own unique stuff, so thats why I wouldn't paint it white. Hate it when I'm going down the road and someone has the same thing I do! Shoulda seen the hard time I gave the dealers trying to find me a new Colorado... Jimmy said last year they only made 30 trucks with the options that I was askin for!

Found a pic of a bronze car, but the pic isn't the greatest, I think it would look killer on a body color bumper car!
