What color? Opinions wanted! My car needs to be repainted soon. Front bumper has been bugged to death from Florida's friendly turnpike going to and from Boca Raton and Orlando 
Minor paint chips, a few scratches, some spiderwebs from where a jackass backed into me in a parking lot. Here are some photoshops of some colors I'm considering. They don't replicate the colors I want the best, but I can't complain, I can't photoshop so thanks to ec_nova!
Tell me what you think! Whatever color I choose is also going to decide what I do to my interior!
Medium Blue/Nassau Blue
Rally Green
BMW Laguna Seca Blue
Hugger Orange
Looks like Barney purple but I would go with Medium Purple Metallic

I'd get one of those specialty candy paints. Someday when the Firehawk needs some new "gloss" I plan to have a metallic silver base, with a transluscent black layed over. It will look black, but will have a glowing shimmer underneath. I saw that on a crotch rocket and it was the 
baddest paint I'd ever seen.
They make the same top coat in blue, purple, red, and black. You can adjust the darkness of the top coat and lessen the silver "glow" based on the layers of top coat. You'd have to have a pro laying down the paint though.
Of the colors you have there I'd get the Nassau blue, but honestly I'm only a huge fan of the ones I listed.

Im definitly digging the green but another color i'd consider is medium blue metallic. Its a little different than the blue in your first picture. Its a richer blue with a lot of metallic but not crazy like those cars at a carnival. I painted my 99 dakota with that color and to this day it is my favorite blue! I always got compliments on it! Whatever you decide to do please don't forget about the door jams and the hatch jam. And if you got the cash get the engine compartment painted also but at least definitly the jams! I hate seeing cars that are painted half ***!

nobles: don't worry my whole interior is going to be out when I paint the car so every nook and cranny will be painted. I will be doing the engine bay, but only what most people can see until I do my engine swap then I finish up then! I've got big plans for my car

I would definitely go with the green off of the dick harrell style camaro! Would be very original on a trans am. Be sure to do a metallic base with translucent (candy) color... gives it the custom deep look!
