Default Finally Found That Special Look I Wanted

Taste is personal and usually controlled by our wallet (or spouse)... This is my decision, with the following changes: Monte, SS, and Supercharged emblems will be red, as will the separating pinstripe between the colors. The whole car will be cleared, but not sure if I should use any pearl or heavier metallic.... Opinions?, Thanks, Ken

The 2 tone look is pretty elegant, will make your Monte come across as a very nice classy ride. Pinstriping is always an upgraded touch, bet it will look bad azz when your done. I had a car with a pearlized paint finish before, it always seemed to attract it's fair share of positive comments. Take care Tejas and keep us posted.

Our body lines seem so well designed that improving them with paint schemes has been limited to only a few. Seeing this 2-tone lower waist design was a welcome change. Kudos to whoever came up with this, my fear is that I will "over-screw" it. Like ghost flames on the side, or a 3rd, darker, or red, stripe around the bottom...lol
