getting new paint, need ideas! Later this week I am going to take my car in to get a new paint job but I'm not sure what looks good. I'm not going to do black or white and there are alot of midnight blue camaros around where I live so I would want to do somehting different. If you have any pics/suggestions it would be greatly apprieciated. Thanks!
This is my car at the moment....

If you want a different color that is dark, I have always loved the Black Rose color that were on the 94 anniversary Corvettes. Its a deep deep purple that looks black about 10ft away, with a medium amount of metallic.

I know you said no black but if you do it differently say a black with a dark blue or purple pearl would look sweet. I have wanted this paint for awhile but nothing needs painted

i always have loved a black cherry for a dark color, and a electron blue for a bold color. that orange posted earlier is awsesome, but looks a bit too bright.

Check out mine. Red orange Metallic. 96U I believe from gm.
It is rather dark, almost maroon except when in direct sunlight,
then it turns into orange. Hope it helps.

Anyone ever seen a car repainted (and done well) but had the nooks left alone (like in the doors, under the trunk, under the hood, etc). Kinda think it could look cool repainting my black car some kind of metallic silver but leaving the inner stuff black.
