    Default Vh SLE paint choices

    Vh SLE paint choices-afgfdg.jpgHi guys i just thougth i would get everyones opinion and thoughts. I am having my VH SLE fully restored with custom everything and the hardest choice i have been faced with is what colour for the paint. It has burgandy interior and the car was originally white, when i spoke to the panel beater i thought it would be cheaper to stay the same colour but i was told he doesnt charge any more for different colours. Only i little more for 2 tone. So that got me thinking if you had the choice what would you do?
    I have been thinking a nice bugandy over silver because i do like the 2 tone. I have included pictures to help with dicisions and the thoughts i have. I like the Camaro bugandy over a nice silver. I have also considered like a gun metal grey over silver.Vh SLE paint choices-post-13758-130985273495615899.jpgVh SLE paint choices-post-10-1309674582919639102.jpg

    blue over silver 2 tone 100% but a slight variation from factory blue, more like a cobalt blue then a really heavy fleck silver.

    just devine.

    I would love to go blue over silver but as i said i have burgandy interior so that would just look silly. One day i would like to own an original blue over silver so i had one that was custom and had tones of balls and one original spec. The problem at the moment is still not know what direction to take. My choices so far would be burgandy over silver like in the pics, white, gunmetal grey over silver or a nice grey with something special mixed in.

    yeah ok, fair enough. how bout the regular burgundy over silver as-in factory colours, but with a candy red with the same heavy fleck on the bottom?




    the problem is that im a guy who really likes that factory two tone pattern. think it makes those VH's look tough as fruck.

    I do like cherry black but with cherry black over silver doesnt look that great and the only time the colour looks any good is in the sun other wise it just looks black.
