project car ready to paint cant decide on a colour , originally white. Two tone? will it suit a 1987 vl or just a nice colour with a pearl? or back to white nice clean colour? help!!:b:
White is too ordinary, nice but ordinary. Dark tailights maybe bright car, not fluro...yuck...seen to many deteriated fluro vls, go a nice metallic or pearl, lighter colour stands out more but whatever your favourite colour is. One colour looks better than 2 tone even if its a calais. Even White with a pearl looks nice.
Also should pick a colour 2 suit your surroundings, like i park my car on dirt everyday so i don't want a black car.
I am either going metallic cream vl calais on it's arse with 18 chromes, or sparkly silver pearl with group A kit maybe airbrushing.
red always looks good i reckon or a light blue like on the monaros but yeah light colours look better.
i like a dark metallicy green i want that colour on the car i get to do up when i get my own place or i do also like the idea of the monaro blue that

hi jacking your thread for a bit, but im thinking of doing my vl matt black just to see what it looks like! what do you guys think? and i think if you get a nice bright white it would look sick man! with the body kit aswell!

no matt black looks good on old hot rods and stuff but not on a commodore that's my opinion anyway i think it looks like it's only half done or something you want it all nice and shiny.
heres a matt black vh!
i think it looks sweet as!

VH looks good because it's chrome, don't do it to a plastic VL!
By the way that VH is awesome, who's is it or where can I find more pics of it?
As for colour.. something bright, but something custom if you can afford it, sick of seeing hothouse or another hero colour on older cars
Are you leaving the kit on? If so don't go two tone. And even then its up to you.
heres another 2 pics of white vls with bodykits! i think they look sweet as!

Hmmm please dont go white, white is the most common and boring colour on any Commodore, new or old.
I reckon like a dark maroon or a dark blue.
You could always go gold, like mine.
Alot of people dont like the colour of mine, probably because they're not used to seeing a gold 2 tone SL, I personally love the colour, as its something I dont often see on VLs.
Those white vls look nice, but if i was to paint 1 white i'd put a blue pearl through it. Maybe Red. Dwpends if you want it to look like a tough car or a clean car, which is it?
SA Ceptor blue!: )
lots of thoughts out there, cheers guys! might keep her white but with a deep orange pearl , then again i seem to be changing my mind every week , i think i just want it to be a lil different.![]()
No interceptor blue, thats a horrible colour, in good nick or not, its bad.
Maybe a metallic, pearl can cost a bit, metallic something, i dont know what, i like a deep metallic blue
white looks clean as on a vl i just bought me self a clean white 86 model Vl grey bumpers ceptors non turbo i reckon they look clean as but yeah put a pearl like gold or somethin up to u
i would be bold and paint it metalic white with orange pearlnever seen it before and think it would look nutzzzzzzzzz
i would paint it pink to suit the fella thats driving it,or you could just keep putting bog in it, it will end up pink any way nice work?
white over silver..
i guess im a bit bias coz mine was that colour..
