    hmmmm its your car and you have to drive and look at it. I reckon white with silver along the bottom is classy.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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
