Default New paint- what color help me

im getting my car painted. Dont know what color to go with. i am going to have red/black suede interior or maybe red/beige depended on what paint i choose.
here are the options
1)gun metal
2)gun metal pearl
3)gun metal w/ pearl white racing stripes
4)gun metal pearl w/pearly white racing stripes
5)black metallic
6) Cadillac diamond pearl
7)candy apple deep deep red like 7-8 coats of a deep tint on top of crazy metallics

im leaning towards gunmetal pearl w/pearl white racing stripes. if i chosse this i think im going to go with red and gray suede.

mine is a candy red shade and it was a pain in the *** getting it done... id recommend you go with the gunmetal and pearl white stripes... as far as I know that hasn't been done yet and cheaper + harder for body shop to screw up

(sig needs updated and will be when i get a chance to take some pics)

Darker red's are ok though.

I think the pearl gunmetal with pearl white racing stripes would be very eye catching. I haven't ever seen it or heard of it, but it sounds sick!

thats why i came up with it. i wanted a paint no one else had that was still very nice just maybee no one had thought of it. So i thought well, gunmetals relativly new and i really like most grays anyway, and pearl white never really been used as an accent so i think im leaning that direction. Plus if you add the pearl essence to the gunmetal it will be even more unique and tie it in to the stripes a little better. the only thing ive seen it on so far was a motorcycle and it was nearly a $5000 paint upgrade!! good keep it off th streets i want it rare! lol thanks for al the comments so far guys!

Gotta go with black(smokey and the bandit and K.I.T.T. can't be wrong)!

T/A's are supposed to be black, and it is actually required now by law in some finer states:
