Here's where I'm at: the interior, engine, interior & chassis are mostly complete, but I can't just paint the body one color (especially blue) and call it done. It is strictly a street machine, but the paint will be the biggest indicator of that.

I'd like to shoot this thing in white with blue & light gray accents, but these body lines don't really lend themselves to any easy designs (at last that I can see).

I don't see how that's possible. I see at least three different ways to do a two or three tone. Here's the first that came to my mind.

Thanks, Roger. I may resort back to that if I end up only doing two colors. Would you mind posting your other two ideas? I think my confusion stems from trying to integrate the three colors into a design I like.

Just continuing Roger's thought, here are some other (quick rough) examples of two and three color combos. These are less about the colors I selected as they are about the space the colors occupy.

Some Impalas did have vinyl tops so a painted fastback top wouldn't be awkward.
