Default Electron Blue or SOM?

My wife's WS6 has a few parking lot dings and scratches. Instead of a black repaint, I'm thinking about a new color. The options are a black repaint, 02-04 Z06 Electron Blue, or Sunset Orange Metallic. The car has 18 and 19 inch CCW SP16a's and our "racemesh" stainless side and hood grilles.

As much as I hate blue cars, I have to admit that hue would look good. I see a lot of people doing SOM when they repaint.

I say go with Electron Blue. You don't see very many Camaros or Trans Ams that are EB. Plus SOM although it is an awsome color, it's also a factory color for our cars.

som is okay, and maybe it's just me, but som is losing it's appeal as time goes on. electron blue would look too cool! i think that is the way to go. besides, how many black and som ws6's are there? how many electron blue ws6'? have you seen? imo, you would have one of the coolest birds ever.

be different and go with EB. SOM is nice but they never made the TA with EB as a paint option.

Every car that I paint black I do that with. Just straight mixing black right off the PPG shelf. I hate it when the factory tints the black colors.

LeMans blue is cool too. EB is a little brighter and I like it better on an F body.

Edit- I thought you said new Z06. The ZR1 blue is sweet too, although it looks a lot like Medium Blue from the 99s, and Nassau Blue from the C5s.
