    Ok. So i'm finally getting around to painting the ol' 4 door... She's primer grey right now and its gonna be a home done paint job... I'm torn on colors though. The interior is blue, and the car was white when i got it. It was a cosmetic wreck when we got it. mostly rust and primer. We got it down to primer and are gonna shoot it with the old paint gun. I'm just looking for some opinions here on colors. Blue or white?

    Don't paint just the hood white and the rest blue. Maybe paint it white and then paint it blue below the body line.

    This would be a cool blue/white two-tone scheme:
