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

Tweet

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.
