Default If you repainted your F-Body....

...what color would you choose. I'm thinking the dark grey GM uses on the trucks. I think with black badges it'll look awesome. This is a Trans Am, stock wheels. Pics in the profile.

I like the electric blue, or whatever they offered in '98 or '99!! That was a beautiful color!! <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Mineral Grey Metallic. It's a Ford color though, don't know if that bothers you.

Or if you are really daring to be different, check out the metallic lime green on a Kawasaki ZX12R. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

"Medium Charcoal Grey Metallic" is hard to reproduce (at least for me) <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0"> Patman might be able to though, he's more well versed than me in color changes.

orange is a Mopar and Camaro color. Im gonna proposition Patman if he ever gets online. What about a really dark green or the bright green produced in 98. or is that too rare to copy? hmmmm....any odd ball factory colors that you think would look good on the TA?

For me if I were to paint my car it would be very, very dark purple - almost black...

There is a 98-02 Firehawk locally painted Chromallusion, and a 98-02 WS6 painted orange.

I'd paint my car in orange.

Hell fuggin' YES! Go with the grey. I took my car to a shop while back (99' T/A) and was a hair away from repainting my car a dark mineral grey. It would look so bad *** on the T/A. I decided that I needed to spend that 6k elsewhere at the time. That is the only reason I wouldn't get that color.

Go for it and post some pics!

(if you don't I hope you like what you choose and still post some pics <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> )
