i posted a thrend under"body/exterior" lookin for some color suggestions (or pics) for my belair...im not two toning it,and its goin to be a full blown hot rod....any suggestions??..

What type of 'full-Blown Hot Rod'? Old school? 60's? Pro-Street? Pro-Touring?
What wheels? Interior type/color?

I really think all of these factors matter when choosing just the right color. Paint can make or break a car. There are 'NEW' colors that would go with a modern build and old school colors that go with a period correct Hot Rod.

Now I get the picture!

Red is overdone.
White is un-inspring, like a refrigerator.

I'm thinkin: Emerald Green metallic pearl............
Light mellow yellow
Black - like the American Graffitti 55
Bright blue metallic pearl

All of the above would look best with a white interior. Man I hope you're runnin a straight axle to set it all off!
