Solid black will look great. Did they make a black with red inlay? Maybe that would be a good selection? I've seen cars from the 50s and 60s that instead of having all the chrome trim on them, painted the car as if the trim was there and then used a pinstripe in the same manner as the trim. To me, that's a fantastic way to keep the original type paint but update it to custom. Regardless, the more this build style grows, the more I like seeing the original lines and styling of the cars preserved but everything else being updated. In this case, a modern 61 Impala. I dig it.
