Silver / Razberry GMV.
IMO, I think using the molding as the dividing line would provide a more subtle two tone divider. Then introduce a third color (thin pinstripe) coming out of the molding for where the molding doesnt cover. Either way, looks like a way cool ride ! :thumbsup:
Post some pics when you have some to share.

i like the silver blue but you need to slightly chop the top. when you have lighter color on the top it make sthe roof look taller. If you go with the darker color it kind of visually chops the top. I love the rootbeer and brown proportions but the silver and blue is a fresher idea.

I had to vote #5, but #3 is a good combo too, just needs the silver on the bottom, not the top.

Instead of the silver there is a color in the PPG Euro chips that looks almost like the straight grey in the picture. It has a lot of pearl in it so when the light hits it it looks heavy metallic. Very different as there are a lot of silver schemes around. Maybe throw a rasberry candy over the grey till it is quite dark.


Cool looking project. I have the paint code somehwere if you need it.

I like the silver/razberry but I would tone the silver down, Looks like a cool project :)

I voted for number 5. I've always believed that a good two-tone should have the darker color on top. I think it makes for a much more dramatic finish to the vehicle.

My thought would be the first two colors are "what's hot now" I voted the first color. The third color is a solid combo will last any changes in what's hot now.
The forth and fifth are just to blue and ok but smell like grandpa.

Torn between #3 and #4. I voted #3...it just seemed warmer to me.

I was thinking the same thing. Root Beer Brown Candy with Vanilla Cream as a secondary color and maybe thin Orange pin stripes. All you need now is a license plate that reads A&W :cheers:

Lexus has a root beer color called "Tigereye Mica" on their 2 door hardtop convertible SC. I like the Lexus color, but it would look much better on a custom. The color is a love it or hate it.

Rootbeer and orange for sure. It just seems to fit so well with that bodystyle. For me it wasn't even close.
