yes another paint question

I had some body damage to my car so i decided to put groundeffects on may car or make it an I-ROC now that i have most the parts its a bigger job than expected but i will finish what i started,but i keep having decision problems i think i liked it before but i do like camaros with G/F. so since i have the parts it is going to have G/F i was thinking of painting it all black (org. silver) but i want to make it different like it was before. so i was thinking trying to paint it like it was before or silver with black G/F or something but im not sure any pics of silver or black camaros would be nice, or any ideas. I like tasteful cars nothing to outrageous suddle notes that are sweet looking like maybe ghost flames, but all funds are imeted considering i am 17 and have normal low paying job. but any pics ideas or anything would be appreciated. thanks

Definetly put some GFX on that car, and then ditch the wheels asap.

Looks like you got yourself a project, and your car looks pretty clean so it won't be all too bad.

You just have to figure out if you want ghost flames, tribal marks, heritage stripes, pin-stripes, or all of the above. This is where you come need to decide what to do.

You can paint it in two colors, and use the body lines as the break. Add a couple colors inbetween for the breaking up, and the you are different.

Hint: Once you decided on one paint scheme, stick with it, or it will take forever to get done.

thanks for posting ad i pretty 90% sure its gonna be all black but its a pain to keep clean though but i want something done to the black to stand out from the rest of the black camaros. But now that you metioned the hertiage strips I think i would like them (the hertiage ones that are on the side maybe in orange or red) im not sure i have some time to decide cause i still have to get all the ground effects on so that will be a while. but thanks for the replys
