    Default VH commodore - Colour Opinions?

    G'day everyone.

    I plan on getting my VH re-sprayed in the future and I've been spending the last couple of months constantly changing my idea on the colour.

    It's currently a mint/olive green ( look at my project folder in the link below ) I don't mind the colour but I'm not a big fan of greens at all.

    My current idea is a SL/e two tone theme black and silver. But reversed so it's silver over black.

    But I'm here for your help, what's everyone's opinions on paint styles/colours that suit a VH?

    Note; I'd like to avoid the SL/e two tone as much as possible because it's only a SL/x and I am REALLY against fakes/mockups.
    Current project; VH SL/X known as "NFNSUS"
    Ready for a overhaul due to licence issues

    Go the VC SL/E two tone effect, its totally different. Even some dealers painted VBs like em too.

    A lucky owner of 2 SL/E Commodores, a rare VB SL/E and a 2 tone VC SL/E. Just need a VH SL/E and have the set!

    the green pearl of the fg falcons its sort like a better version of holdens sherbrook green on vs.

    and silver over black looks wrong

    HOK burple looks good with black detailing around the windows etc and the chrome work on your handles, bars and trims set against both nicely.

    I've seen the recent toyota deep mica red on an early gal that look good too.

    Pity you're not keen on green, I'm toying with respraying my vb in poison ivy instead of blowing over 70% of the original colour as a touch up.

    Pic of the resprayed Rhone Green. Plenty more pics in my thread of the colour. If you're having trouble deciding what to paint it, just go by the build plate.
