I would not re-paint the entire car. Silver pin striping might work. Or silver ground fx might help.
Take a look at nascar43's Monte. I don't think the body is the same color as yours, but I think the berry and silver combo look AWESOME!

Could also add silver Monte Carlo badging on the rear quarters (I can't tell if you have that badging currently, but I added that to my Monte, was a nice visual improvement).

And if you want to REALLY make an improvement, loose those wheels. Worst looking wheels GM could have offered (I just replaced mine last fall).

silver would look good. Maybe some silver rally stripes on the hood and trunk.

Default accents

I got tell ya:

Thats a tough color to try accents with....

But, If it was mine....Silver would look ok in my opinion..But, it would have to be the right tone of silver to really set it off....

This may sound kinda girly....But, I actually think some Pink stripes high lighting the body lines would be real Trick looking....And theyd have to be painted on..not pin stripeing tape....By someone with a keen eye for perfection...I would even paint like parts of the wheels the same color as the body paint to pull it all together....from top to bottom...(ground up)..

But its always best..to keep it the same color.. But thats just me....


Just a thought...

I think more of a charcoal grey would look good, instead of galaxy silver.

I'm not a pink fan
