White, whether it's the bulkiness of our bodies or the curves, there's just something about our cars that look very clean when they're white. I've seen a few white SS's and was thinking how hot an SS/SC would look in white. You'd have the only one in the world.

I will definitly being door jams and the trunk is CF but I will be doing around the inside of the trunk. As far as the enigine bay, thats something I will tackle down the road but right now the engine bay will look ok in black.

I think leaving the engine bay black isnt to much drama, it won't really stand out any...

Yeah thats my logic behind not doing it and this is my DD so I cant just pull the motor and have it sitting for awhile.

I would do a white pearl would be sweet but also do some graphics before you clear it. Otherwise I think it will look to plain. Maybe a pin stripe if you don't want to go to crazy. Black pin stripe would be neat. If you are not going to paint the inside of your engine bay or door jams etc. I think black graphics would make the two colors blend in a little..

do a two tone, white in the front, then make it black in the back. seperated by a strategically placed line, possibly red. Just a quick thought.

Get the brightest white paint possible with a pearlescent clear coat.

That = Sex

white is nice but....its expensive to paint and our clear coat comes off! I would keep it black....just for the sake of saving money, time and trouble.

I've always daydreamed about a military aircraft theme.

Something like >this<, if you can imagine it modified to the body lines of the cobalt, etc.
