Default Paint time.

finally, time for paint.

had a friend finish up the body work (man this guy is legit it looks amazing)

now i need ideas for colors. i was thinking of these:

Matte black (stays clean and i think it will look good with chrome trim/rims)
shiny black
Light green
dark grey

here is a pic of the interior

I say as a safe bet light green with white rocker stripes. Wouldnt do matte black unless done right it will just look like a car that needs to be painted, that and you can not color sand matte, so any imperfections in the paint will have to stay. Maybe gloss black if the body work is good enough, black will show everything.

I think it's really a question of what color will go well with your interior. Cause your interior looks great!
Gloss black is one of my favorite colors, but I'm not sure how it would go with your interior.

Example (it's got a few Shelby parts, but I think this one shows the color well):

Green or gloss black, no doubt about it.....

Flat black is for BBQs.
