First off, this isn't my car in the picture but its essentially what mine will look like once its back together. I unfortunately can't find any good pics of mine before I took it apart.

What I am considering is a two-tone paint job that would leave the car black below the stock pin strip/body line and painting the top of the hood, roof and trunk a Black Cherry Pearl color with metallic silver pin stripes that would separate the two.

Here's a picture of Angelo's FE3X for the photoshop:

And here's a picture of another Olds I have showing the stock pin stripe location:

If anyone has any other color ideas, please let me know or post pictures of them. I'm still going for a dark colored car but want something with a little more pop than just straight black.

Thanks for the help!

Well, took a little time today and did a couple of quick photoshops myself, although I'm not as good at is as others here are:

Looks good. Maybe a slightly lighter blue or burgundy top color? Or...try a copper color.

Thanks.

Is there a trick to making the paint look more reflective in Photoshop? Right now I just did the basic lasso tool, layer via cut and hue/saturation tools to get to this point but the paint tends to start looking a little flat.

Thanks,
