Okay guys here the deal, im at odds with myself on the paint colors on my belair I need some input

Below is the original rendering I had done for the car, the wheels were going to be a flattened version of the top color of the car, then I saw a 64 belair with the top of the car that color and didnt like it, the bottom of the car is metallic silver


55003


The next is a photo i photoshopped to see how it could look, flat charcoal grey metallic roof with matching trim, to me it looked like way too much darkness on the front of the car
55000

This is one that I also photoshopped and honestly what I am leaning more toward, the wheels are going to be Boss 338s with machined lips and the centers painted a flattened version of the roof of the car.
55002


whats everyones opinion here?

I like the one with the Boss wheels. It is almost the same colors I am going to use. Silver, charcoal, with a maroon pinstripe.

I like the center one as well.. just match the roof paint to the wheel centers.. they already come powder coated in grey. I did that on my bumpers and entire engine bay! I think a bright blue 1/8" pinstrip running down the shoulder line with everything above that satin grey would look wicked. It would almost look like a black and white photo with a blue line?? sorry... guess i let my head get the best of me! lol

I like the bottom picture best. I agree that the creamsicle paint scheme is a little over the top, but I think the flats make this car look a little too "un-finished" especially for such a classic ride. I think that the two tone silver/charcoal with the maron'ish pinstripe is very classy while still looking "tough"! Ultimately its up to you (obviously)...which one are you going to look at every day and giggle to yourself thinking, man thats bad ass! good luck and have fun
