What color would you paint it?

Not like yours but these sure pull the black and silver off nicely.
(well the wagon may be more of a pewter but it still looks good)
Ive had these saved in my pics for a long time.

 

Just a quick one of your car. Lowered it a bit and added wheel and tire treatment that I think will look great.

Another one I found with the same treatment- don't dig the wheels, though.

Thats the same one I posted,It belongs to hotrodladycruzr,s Dad
Not HAMB friendly but I like those wheels on "that" car

 

is that jay leno's?

 

maybe Im just off the wall a little bit the last few months but have you seen the new buick espresso bronze metallic color? I have been thinking alot about that color with a frosty white on top. maybe the paint fumes have been getting to me or I just see that car way to much at work but I think it would be a good combo.

 

Here's a red and black Pontiac from about that year..

 

Red and black
red and white
red and silver
all red
all white
all black
all silver
black and silver
black and white
....

 

what i like about your car is you get the space and **** that comes with a 4 door.. but it has the lines of a two door.. it just flows.. this model year i would rather have a 4 door than a two.. i may or may not shave the back door handles.. either way im feeling your ride.. i like lots i look closer and see it was the ebreak pedal not the clutch.. guy could of been a drag racer who knows why he put that kind of shifter in it.. if i was putting it on the floor.. i would of had a kick *** shifter knob carved up and vissable from the front window.. but on the column works just fine

Slate gray and red

 

A really dark almost black green would look good.

 

Purple an' yellow....

 

white with red pinstripes around the trim

 

Because you have red on the interior, it has to be red and white. *** on wheels!

 

This looks awesome I think I've made up my mind. Thanks.

Red and white will still be on my mind but I think i like the gray and black better. (my neighbors got a 55 chevy red and white so i wanna be a little different.)

 

The window post also black would look good too.

 

red/ black----black and red---black with red accents---red with black accents-----red----black---am I seeing a theme here? Good luck with the cool Olds orphan.--worlds coolest dash! ~sololobo~

 

Yeah it probably would but me and my paint guy will decide stuff like that together. He'll know what we should do to make it look good. Imight have to break out the original hub caps and get some white walls though, I like the way the WW's look in the photoshop.

 

yeah thats why i want to stay away from red. There's too much of it for me already. When i bought the car the intake, water pump, and valve covers were all red; the seats, carpet, most of the dash, and half the door panels were red. I think that it looks better with my polished finned valve covers and the manifold black though, I think that when i change to black carpet it will solve my issue with the previous owner red craze.

 

Well I'm gonna say that Yellow is not an option.

Copper is an option I suppose. But black rad or white are going to be your best bets. Someone mentioned mid night blue I think and that would fly as well. Lots of old chebbies came with blue paint and red interiors. Hell even the flag is red white and "blue", those colors seem to go well together.

 

Shaved rear handles and/or maybe a custom full rear side gl*** (taking that little post out) or also painting them black might also be an option if you like.
I like 4 doors that have a good flow to them.

 

Believe me I think about taking the post out all the time. Would make it more like a holiday 88. I've also thought about a very mild chop, like ~2.5 in, but for now the body will remain unmodified. Until I have the funds to buy some more fab tools. Im only 18 so cash is limited
