OK guys and gals. I have a 03 Redfire Metallic 4 dr GP. My bud owns a bodyshop and we are going to work a deal come summer time. I will do odds and ends around the shop for a few weeks and he will paint my car. I bet I will mostly be doing parts runs, detailing, taping, cleaning etc. but that is fine with me. I want to stay with the redfire but want to make it custom. I was thinking about doing a silver bottom like a lot of Monte Carlo SS cars, or do silver from the bottom of the car up to the door mouldings. Chime in what color and idea you have. Nothing crazy here, no stripes, no flames, just basic two tone and a color that goes with the Redfire.

If you have some other color choices, just let me know...

i vote silver

If you go with the trim along the bottom ala Monte I'd suggest doing the whole cladding not just a portion.

How bout some SS stripes in honor of your 72?

No stripes for me. IMO they only belong on cars like my 72. Yes I had them on my mustang, but I bought it that way and I was too cheap to paint it.

Nice job lonezergling, I had done the first one too. The 2nd is just too high for me now that I see it. How about to the top of the lower mouldings all the way around. May I wish something looked good with red, maybe black?

I think red and black would look pretty good. with possibly a really thin white pinstripe between the black and red.

Lowered, shaved door handles, clear corners. pinstripe and 2 tone. Even painted ur calipers to match.

did you resize the front wheel cause it looks too big.

And I'm going to say I like the silver on the rocker panes up to the lower moldin of the doors.

If I get back on my desktop tonight instead of the laptop, I'll make some pics with black 2-tone.

Thing is, i's hard to tell with the black because the bottom is so dark to being with because f the shadows.

no i didn't resize the wheel, just the angle of the pic.

Paint it white or silver where you see the 2 tone (you can go straight threw door handles if you wish) and be sure to paint the trunk lid, hood, and roof of the car white/silver as well and then on the hood. Just 2tone the roof/hood/and trunk lid along with the sides like you see in the picture and the top of your car will be silver and bottom majority portion red, i think it'll look beautiful and very unique and make sure to get some small striping in between the silver/white and red of the car (like you see the black pinstripeing in the photo) so it'll look even better.

red and black one but then you would have to get some black wheels because silver won't look to good with a red and black paint job.

My favorite two-tone GP: http://www.clubgp.com/newforum/tm.asp?m=4364858&p=1&tmode=1&smode=1

i say go with the black just on the bottom and on the front and rear of the catfish part of the bumpers and then seperate with a silver pinstripe

is there an option for no two tone?

Just tryin to give ya some ideas...



Heres by far my favorite though!

personally, i like the silver at the bottom like the monte carlo

Oh yeah I forgot the MPD F1 Grand Prix is my favorite two tone GP but Shaun's car is right up there with it.

Yeah id have to say Shaun's GP has an amazing paint job you have to see it in person to really appreciated it

i like the maroon gp with the black top and that black hood in that group of pics def my favorite

Whoooa, the black with the silver pinstripe is pretty sweet. I vote that.

I'd go for the rocker panels down, not just the lip like the Monte has. The Daytona Shelby's used to come this way from the factory and it looked great. Hopefully the pic works.

Black from the Rockers down looks sweet with the pinstripe, but I wonder how a dark metalic gunmetal grey would look? Espessially with the Redfire Metalic.

i vote this one

the green two tone with the Minnesota plate lives by me, i see the car about once a week

That, Rook, isn't half bad lookin'... I like.

Looks like a ricer car, as in he added ground effects and never got it painted. I vote, the two cars snowrider900 picked out, the blue/silver, and red/black cars! The trim on the bottom doesn't look right, or the color silver doesn't go.

There aren't many colors that go with redfire. It actually reminds me of a Regal.
