Right, so, I am considering getting a new paint job for the Jag because I want it to look as nice on the outside, as it does on the inside. Right now it's black, and it will stay black for the most part. After viewing a television show about car restoration, I saw an older Chevy with a white roof and black body and I thought that was pretty sweet. I've also considered painting the top half grey, and the bottom half black, like an older Rolls Royce. Or, I could just paint the whole thing black. I'm interested on hearing everyone's opinions.
The car is a 1989 Jaguar Xj6

Chef,

sounds nice and very tasty.

What I would do is use a computer program that can do color changes "on the fly" so that you can experiment with different combinations.
You use a color picture of your car, and through the computer, you "paint it" in different color combinations. The program I'm talking about is used by decorators to change the colors of walls, appliances, and cabinets in kitchens, for example, when people are trying to decide what colors to use.

It's your car, personalize it as you like.
