I recently bought a 1980 z28 that's yellow and black. The bubblebee lol I'm not a fan of it and it needs resprayed anyway. I'm stuck on how I want to paint it and I can always respray it myself. So I'll leave it up to you guys/gals. No pinks or purples and I want to keep the stripes down the middle of the car. Post your ideas and I'll go with the most favorited!

I vote orange with black polka dots. Really, are you going to let a bunch of us tell you what color(s) to paint your car?

Damn Vall, you took my answer! lol
I would base the choice on what your favorite color is, you're the one who's going to be looking at it every day.

I was kinda hoping for some ideas from people who know what looks best with these cars. Lol I dont have a favorite color and I just can't decide. I've looked at restored versions for a week now and I'm just stuck.

If you're doing a restoration, I'd stay with factory colors for that year car. If it's not a 100% resto, then pick what you like.

I've always liked the clean look of the white ones, but the black one with gold accents looks pretty slick too. Blue would be a close third...
