I'm guessing you are just painting the moldings down. Black would look the best

Whatever you do. DO NOT GO TO A1 AUTOBODY!!! I used to work right next door and you wouldnt believe some of the things I have seen come out of that place.

Multiple cars came back bc the paint started to flake off after only a week. I even saw a van that they painyted orange that had a huge handprint in the side. They painted one of our customers cars and left a rag soaked in thinner on the wing of the car. needless to say, the paint bubbled up like a ****! They tried to blame it on us.

The owner of the shop owns 2 Hummers and a Navigator. He painted all of his cars and they all have HUGE runs in them. the clearcoat looks like frosting on the edges bc it is so thick.

My advice, keep it all red, but if you insist...

Platnum would look the best

i like the 2 tone myself... as you can see from my sig..... i never really liked solid red cars... so my vote is that 2tone that you chopped up.
