Default Help on choosing a color

I recently totalled my 99 z. I have bought a rolling 02 SS to swap everything into. I am torn on a color. I had it narrowed down to blue, dark grey, and orange. I like the atomic orange off a vette, electron blue and jetstream blue off a vette, and a graphite off like a tahoe or dodge truck, but I am not attached to any of them at this point. The car is completely gutted-I mean completely, but I can't decide on a color. I am open to all suggestions and pics would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

It depends on what you want from the car. If you want it nice and flashy, Atomic Orange is a great color. If you want to stay under the radar more, than go with the dark gray. My vote is for either of those colors.

I really like the graphite from Fords, like on the Lincoln Town Cars and such. GM's Graphite is decent too.

That grey is about the color I was talking about, the only issue I see with that is keeping the car clean. If you would see how stripped this thing is, I am wanting to make it super, super nice and I'd like to keep it as clean as possble-something that is not easy when you are kinda lazy..hehe. I'll try to get some pics of the progress. Thanks for the input....keep it coming

I think Jetstream Blue is a very cool color on the Vettes and is probably my favorite. I think it'd probably be one of the most unique colors on an FBody since I've never seen one in that color. EBM is also a very nice color for these cars.

think its called sunburst orange?(has a gold metallic look to it). Anyway they used it on the new Avalanches. Looks awesome, especially with black.

Rhedalert, nice car(in sig). Just like mine.

That blue is absolutely beautiful..The pearl white is a little different. It is very nice, just not sure if it is for me. Is that the electron blue??
