Thread: Might have a paint scheme in mind for the Nova

You don't have any item numbers on the dark charcoal metallic, do you Dave?
I too was thinking two tone, but mine won't be top and bottom but front and back.
Gonna start practicing my air brush tecnic's on the front hood and I've been looking for some thing that would blend nice with a dark Metallic blue. I know the light blue pin stripes look good on the blue metallic, not sure if it would look good on the brown though.

In the grand scheme of things a two tone is a safe bet. Just follow the body lines.

I do concept drawings, but that would not be a good investment for your car, as a two tone would be simple to photoshop. That leaves more dollars for a little better paint.

Silver and gray is also a safe bet, as those don't have a lot of "personality", so they will just give it a clean appearance. That will keep them from having any conflict with your airbrush art.

Silvers and grays don't fade bad, so cheap basecoats would probably hold up okay long-term. If you want this paint job to last a long time, you will want to put a good clear on it. The cheaper paints will lose their gloss quicker. I've seen some die in two years if they sit in the sun a lot.
