I am currently building a 1:24 model of a 1969 Camaro convertible. However, I can't settle on a color or a paint scheme; do I want two-tone? Stripes? Solid color? Here's some details on this project:

The interior has been transplanted from a 2001 Corvette model and the door panel lines have been shaved because the inner door panels obviously didn't line up.

I also plan on using the chassis molding from the Corvette model, as it fits so nicely into the '69.

I've shaved the bumpers, sidemarker lights, and all emblems off this car, and filled in the gills and some other misc. things. I may use these wheels, but I think they may be a tad too big:

I was thinking of some kind of silver/blue combination, but I'm just having trouble seeing it. I really hope I'm not overstepping my bounds here, I know this is a site for building real cars. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Until I graduate and can afford to build a real one, this is all I have! :)

Not that this helps all that much, but there are some really cool paint ideas in this thread: https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7686

Most are with blue and silver.
