I have a 2010 SS Victory Red and was thinking about going in a different direction with the paint. Looking for your thoughts on this paint combo?

It only matters if you like it.

Only with a top down perspective is hard for me to visualize completely. The roof may need something... looks good

^i agree, I kinda like the way it looks

This ^^^^ If you like it, doesn't really matter what I or anyone else thinks. But, since you asked, from the top view, it looks good

Thanks for the feedback! I don’t have a side view of the car but I’m thinking the bottom 2” or so is also black? I like having something different with my car and paint seems like a great place to start

I like the center stripe on the hood and trunk. Can’t say I’m a fan of the other stripes - but it’s your car so do whatever makes you happy.

Red fades so doing it in vinyl would be no good unless garaged and rarely left in the sun. Or when you remove the stripes you'll have ghosted darker red stripes where they were before. Pretty much the same story for any vinyl stripes on cars.

I'd guess at least half the potential buyers would shy away from your car on sale day and it wouldn't surprise me if you had to drop the final price a few thousand. This isn't as extreme as skulls but it will have an impact.

I like it. Just extend the center stripe through the roof also, and it's great. Different.

I like it!! I would join all of the black in the back similar to the front and maybe include the taillight area in black. Then it would be a throwback to the 1st gen SS- they had all black tail panels.

But, definitely, in no way should racing stripes EVER extend to the roof!! It looks perfect as is.

I believe that paint scheme has already been used. Looks like Ladybug.
