Might consider asking one of these guys on here who does Photoshop to do a picture for you and you could get a pretty good idea from that. I think it might look pretty good if you did the stripes in Hugger Orange.

Also, since you're thinking of doing a repaint, take a look at the Viper Steel Grey. Probably similar to what you're calling gunmetal. Very nice color and would work well with Hugger Orange accents.

The reason for considering a paint change is because my paint from the factory looks very inconsistent in coverage almost thin in spots. Does anyone else have that issue with a Pewter car?? I saw another site member who did his car in Gunmetal or something similar and fell in love with the look. I have Gunmetal stripes on the car now.

^color scheme looks nice, but they took it too far by painting the wheels, also too many stripes for my taste. but i think the color scheme is pretty sweet

I was leaning more towards a ghost orange effect, SOM would be a bit better with the Viper gray or Gunmetal than Hugger Orange. I will try and post some pics in the morning showing my current scheme.

Yeah, I agree too much for my taste....maybe with just the hood stripes, no hockey stripe or rims painted.

IMO black and silver are overdone these days, I want something different and a little more daring. I currently have Gunmetal stipes on the hood and deck lid now and like it alot ....its just the inconsistancy with the Pewter paint I dont like and driving my interest for a new look.
