Fresh tutone- wadaya think?

I bought this riv in May of this year in Ohio with 24k miles on it. It was black-
and I have a long history of tutoneing Buicks with silver (easier to keep clean)-
my 1st was a 84 regal coupe with a chev V8. Anyway I have painted five buicks
that way- I guess I like it? Just got this back from the painter and spent a day
detailing the overspray and paint on the rubber parts (these cars are hard to
paint!) and had to take a couple of picts and see what you guys think. I know
some of you prefer stock but I restored Corvettes for 30 years and stock is not
my personality I guess- I want it like I want it. I like it- let me have it!

This is how I want mine -



Or maybe with the center black and the sides silver. I haven't decided yet. I'll have to chop that next

it looks good but you should have went on the body line, but i like one question why didnt you paint the grey parts on the bumper and sides

2toneRivi went opposite with the colors and used the body lines for his color change, not sure which one looks best?
I like the five spoke wheels thats for sure!

its diff since it dont follow the contours of the body but does look nice. how much?

I'm in Blaine- my sign shop is on 105th and Hwy65 (central ave.)

The break line is a couple inches down from where the factory put the pin-
stripe- I wanted more silver to show from the side since silver is my primary
focus. I had a silver '98 previous to this- not silver enough for my taste and I
never bonded with it. I am pumped now tho- l have a bunch more mods on
the drawing boards for this winter- when the vette goes to sleep. Gene

I like it ! Reminds me of the WH1 g-body regals.
Great way to mount the front license plate!

Don't paint the grey plastic parts black, the car will look weird.
