Default Should I change the color on my SOM to this?

My car is getting repainted once again. We're having trouble color matching the original SOM paint I had since Gm has 5 different varients to SOM. for some reason my factory one is still off.looks a bit lighter. I had the car repainted 2 years ago and it looked close,but still was a lil darker.this time I want to lighten up the color,but since we're having a lil bit of problems matching it I was considering switchingit to this
what do u guys say?

1st paint job I got keyed.this time I went in for touch ups on the bumpers and we had a bit of a problem matching the 2nd SOM since we tweeked it a bit.so we said **** it ,lets just redo the whole thing with a fresh coat.that's where I'm at right now. I want to lighten up the SOM a bit

Its a very nice color, but it sucks to see a som car get a color change...it wouldn't be so bad if it was a red v6 firebird ws6 clone, you know what I mean? But its your car and if that's what you like, go for it. You're not painting it for us, make it yours. I painted my R1 that color. Inferno orange right?

That color is sexy. If I ever have money to repaint mine, it will be very similar to that.
