New project blank canvas…..ideas?


I have a blank canvas project that I’m ready to start. It’s just a 2v 351 xr-7 car. Looking for color ideas. Keep in mind this will be a black interior with a black vinyl top…ideas welcomed

The 1970 code T red was sharp with black top and interior. Or a darker more modern maroon. Triple black is timelessly cool too!

I found vinyl to be troublesome and can hold water and create rust underneath if not sealed well. How about painting the top black, using chromed vinyl top trim as a separator, and then using the T red paint Calicat suggested? Definitely keep everything chrome that you can. Blacked out looks too much like modern plasti-cars for my tastes, but is fine it you are going for a modern-ish restomod.

Black painted top area instead of vinyl top. I prefer smooth tops to vinyl covered tops.

That’s a great looking car! Great stance

To be a bit contrarian - I think a black body with a maroon top would look amazing. Basically how it looks in the photo. You see so many with a black/dark top, so this would really catch the eye.
