Color finder If you just want a non-metallic color go to that site, it lets you pick colors and tells you the RGB and CMYK values. my ride was originally silver and was painted white before I aquired it, but I'm getting it ready to be paited Azure Blue. I had a similar idea of painting it two colors, one below the lateral line and one above, but after much debated, I realized Sevens really only look good with one color.

What I did was take a picture of the car with my digital camera and then recolor it on a photo editor. I just never really got it to look good with a two tone paint scheme, you might like it though, here's an example

I was thinking about trying that for my exterior mods (photo editor).

I dig the yellow and blue two tone scheme. Mine is a metallic silver color. For first gens I think that black is the sexiest color you could choose. Silver comes in a close second, since with black you pretty much have to wash it every day to keep the damn thing clean.

The plan for my 84 is a dark metallic green for the body and a metallic black for the hood (bonnet). Drift styl'n.
