Art & Inspiration need classy color combo

I am painting a classy classic car similar to this. I really love the black and burgundy combo, but what is the classiest combo you can think of?

 

It's better looking than the pink and white chevy pick up next to it.....

 

Never done it but I have seen some really nice cars in black and silver (or black and "gun metal" gray... a darker gray color).

 

Silver and dark grey metallic looks pretty good.

 

Silver and Maroon, black and silver, Cream and black, take your pick.

 

I've always loved the burgundy/black combo, but I am also a fan of the black/cream, burgundy/cream, or black/hunter green. I can Photoshop the car for you if you have any pics of the actual car. I'd love to see it when you are done- I'm only 15 miles west of you.

 

Interestingly/sadly, that was a factory color for that year model from GM Canada.

As for "classy" colors... hmmm...

Burgundy and tan
Navy and tan
Charcoal gray and black

 

Burgundy and Ivory, Burgundy and Black, Emerald Green and Ivory, Black and Ivory, Dark Green and Black........

 

black.

although a nice med metallic turquoise with black and chrome can look pretty upmarket IMO

 

Thanks for the offer skol73. I've also considered pearl white fenders and electric blue body. I think it would get noticed, but not sure if it's classy. Some of those old French cars had some vivid colors.

 

My '46 Olds will be painted in its OEM colour combination from the data plate. Disregard the photoshopped wheels, FUGLY

 

You never really know for sure what color your car will be until you actually walk out of the paint store with the can under your arm.

I spent my entire build assuming my 31 Ford PU would be maroon body with black fenders. When I left the paint store it was black body with tan wheels and interior.

Yes, it was classy.

 

I am partial to gunmetal and black and hunter green and black...I will probably go with the gunmetal with black fenders on my 35 chevy pickup...

 

Dove gray and dark red with gold pinstripes.

 

Bright colors can be classy too.

 

Black and burgundy with gold accent pinstripe

 

That is a nice car you have there mgtstumpy.

 

Depending on the car I suppose, but I like black and maroon, I like cream and black or tan, and I really like english racing green and black.

Granted a couple of those colors are a little hard for me to see but the combos that I mentioned are plesent to my color challenged eyes.

 

A medium blue over a darker navy has always been a fave classy color combo of mine...

 

I like the black and green combo but I'm in love with the colors my gramps painted his 29 model A phaeton.. I think it's one of the factory color combos and I will try to post a pic of it n a sec, but it darker turquoise with kinda flat yellow wheels and pin striping and black fenders. He won best in show in his model A car club down in Port Arthur like 3 or 4 years in a row

 

Darkblue fenders with lighter blue body maroon fenders silver or gray
body darkgreen fenders with lighter green body
And leather interior in matching colour

 

Light and dark green?

 

another light green/dark green

 

Hey : I've seen that '40 Merc . It IS a classy paint scheme .

 

rootbeer brown and cream

 

WOW, that black "A" pickup is sweeeet!

 

PS: Try this album for some color ideas on big classic cars. I had an opportunity in 2010 to visit the castle in Ludwigsburg Germany and take in a car show there. It was an amazing day.
