color combo?

i see people are painting the calipers and the inside trim pieces and wondered if anyone thought a red/silver theme would look good? should the headlights just stay the same? any opinions are welcome

If you want to do a red/silver theme i would paint the headlights red (or whatever color the car is)

I think red on the calipers would look sick, everyone does it anyways. I think when you start painting the trim it starts looking cheesy and rice. You really need the door panels too match to pull it together, but it still looks rice to me. If you are going to paint the trim, go with a darker blue though, blue and silver are sick together, but that's just my opinion.

Your arrival Blue looks kindof funcky...like in between the blue granet and the arrival, is it just the sun light in the pics? Have you put it next to another one?

I like the blue and silver thing too...I would paint the calipers Blue.

some of those pics are off of different cameras. off my video camera they seem darker but off of my gf's digital camera they are brighter but more like the color of the car. check out https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/pictures-videos-64/few-new-pics-15712/

the only thing that would look good painted red on a silver car is the calipers

now silver and black gives much better options

I've had people ask me where I got my car painted, too. I love telling them it's the factory Victory Red! GM did a great job with the paint on these cars.
