Help with Car Color

[1979Calais]

I am having a hard time with choosing my paint color. I was going with 2 toned (blue at bottom and silver at top), also I am thinking about all black with red pin stripes. If I paint it black, then I will have to redo all my interior (its blue). What is a good color to go with my suspension and engine? A picture of my engine is below for some of you that have not seen it yet.

If you are willing to redo the interior I would red to go with the motor, don't use that "resale red" solid red everyone uses put some thought into it. I was a painter in a body shop for ten years and they have some amazing colors out there today. A nice red car with a black interior is always sharp.

The only thing is I don't like red cars, but that red looks good.

I think a dark metallic red with black leather interior would look killer! Alittle darker than what Fox80 posted.

Now, yall got me thinking about red now. What color should the half vinyl be? That's the only thing bad about the a red car.

You could eliminate the half vinyl top, if you leave it on I wouldn't do red, red vinyl looks funny. But I think black would look nice to go with the interior

If your interior is in good condition, I would choose a color that goes with your interior if it were me. You could get away with alot of exterior colors with your light/baby blue interior.

Eliminating the vinyl top is going to be to much money and to much work, also I love the half tops.

My interior is medium blue and I dyed the plastic parts already. The seats was done about 3 years ago and they still look new.

I agree I wouldn't redo the interior if its all in good shape. Could go with white, my car is white with white vinyl top and dark blue interior. Of course this would make your motor color a strange choice. Reprinting a motor is way easier than redoing an interior. Is the body still off the frame?
