    1981 Camaro Berlinetta black or gold?

    Hi guys, So I recently began rebuilding a 1981 Camaro Berlinetta. I have pulled the interior (beige and brown) and the engine and sent the car to the body shop to get painted. I have narrowed my paint choices down to either black or gold. Any thoughts on which one I should choose?
