| My vote: two tone. White side panels looks sweet with yellow. |

| I agree with justbuggin. White is classic and with yellow, can't be missed either!!! |

| Yes, two tone... just two tone it with a color that compliments the yellow. Is corvette yellow bright and demanding or subtle and "creamy"?? A bright blueish white would be a disaster here! Try going with a darker, yet clean, yellowish white. Go to the shop supply store where you buy paint and grab a color chip page or two that offers variable color chips on the same sheet and compare them... outside so the light is right. Ford makes a few yellower, darker whites that may go very well with the yellow. Ford code "YY" comes to mind, but it has been several years since they used that one. Look for it near the mid to late 1980's. |

it's BRIGHT..almost skittle yellow ;). I Was thinking of doing a white with a pearl in it to give it a bit of sheen I also have some black vw flame decals for the bottom of the doors. i'll go in to the paint store tomarrow and see what they have. When you do a pearl in a color..does the pearl mean it has an accent of that color in it.' like a pearl yellow mix in?
sorry :S. If anyone has done a two tone. is there a generic white that looks good?. i don't want just plain flat.."BLLAHH WHITE" i want it to shine a little. THAnks GUYS |
