Getting car painted but what color?
Im about to get my car repainted and im looking for sugestions on a color. It's black now and it seems like every T/A you see around is too. I want to go with a color that doesnt come stock from the factory, well at least on trans ams. I was thinking mabye about electron blue but im not sure how it would look. Any body have any ideas and/or pics to help me out?

How about the carbon metalic color of MightyMouse's TA?

My other choice would be blue.

Re: Getting car painted but what color?
I saw a picture of a vette painted this mettalic orange color (not SOM, but lighter). I think it was in the Wheels forum awhile back, but it was pretty sweet. (If you wanted to stick out like a sore thumb and be unique) I'll see if I can find the pic again.
I'm partial to lighter metallic blues myself.

Re: Getting car painted but what color?
Well here is the WRX blue.. forgive the fact that its on a Subie but you get the idea:
This color would be killer on a fbody.. i get more compliments on the color of this car than i would have thought possible.. its a very deep pearl metallic.. drop by a Subaru dealership to see the color
Sprial grey is nice but the blues and bright colors are better "show off" (and magazine) colors.. lol

Re: Getting car painted but what color?
I would do a color you havent seen on a f body. I really like Mystichrome for the new 04 cobras and also sonic blue for the 03's. I also thought about a candy red. I went with my paint cause I never seen a steal grey pearl SS and have always loved the color on the viper ever since they brang it out in 2000.
Mystichrome
Heres candy red
good luck and one thing you might want to think about is staying with a dark color. My car was black before since I went with a lighter color you can see black on the bumper from rock chips.

Charcoal Grey Metallic is my favorite. I don't have a picture or sample of in unfortunately, but it looks bad ***. Plus since your car is already black, the engine bay and door jams wouldn't look too bad since black goes awesome with the color. That is unless you have the cash to do it all

I love this color, but in the end the choice is up to you. I think it's called "Sunset Pearl." "Electron Blue" looks BADASS too. Either way, you can't go wrong.

That thing is SO beautiful, it makes me wish I had the money on hand to tear down my Z28 and re-build it from scratch just how I'd like it.
