    I've recently started sanding down my 56 Chevy for paint just looking to get a nice clean looking driver, the paint I'm leaning towards is ppg vanilla shake I'm planning on using chrome reversed wheels and pinner whites now I'm wondering what color would go good on the dash and window frames if the outside is vanilla, colors i thought of are a lime candy gold with metal flakes, or the a olds color called rose mist, or a deep purple from hok im looking for opinions/ideas

    I agree with HRP. Sounds like the car is going to look pretty sweeet when your done!
     
  5. how about hok tangerine over a silver base
     
  6. i think with that body color a lot of different accent colors would look good. but my thoughts are with a dark burgandy. i mean dark. kia has this color on their cars right now. i think they call it dark cherry. i think it would be a killer combo.
     
  7. I like the brighter stuff. Looking at yellow on a summer day makes me feel happy ...:)

    If the body is straight enough paint it any color as long as its black. Nothing looks better then a black car. Please no resale red.

    If you look at google images by searching "ppg vanilla shake" you'll get lots of good ideas for interior colors to go with your exterior colors
