Hi 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.![]()
sorry there was more photos but it says i have exceeded some quota
What about cherry black? Check out Walesys Caprice thread, the colour is beautiful.
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.
over

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.
cheery nlack over silver in original 2 tone spec would look good maybe chane the silver to a sslightly darker tint or a hint of mink

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.
Thats more like it yeah i love the factory 2 tone pattern and it will be exactly the same pattern just pimp the colours im not a huge fan of the original burgandy. If i know how to post more pics of examples i would but in manage attatchments it says i have reached a limit and i cant delete the old ones.

Burgandy over silver. A VH SL/E must be two tone, end of story.
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.
