Default Painting the car need suggestions on color

Currently it is a red WS-6 w/ black interior

I want it to be a color that no one has and I don't really care how much it costs because my friends dad owns a pretty well-known shop in mpls that is going to cut me a really good deal on it. The color needs to be basically one-of-a-kind on a T/A i don''t want any T/A to look like mine

Thanks a bunch

I personally like the "Black sapphire metallic" look.

do a search for the True Sonic Blue. Ford motor company uses the name sonic blue however in the owners manual and the code it uses is Sapphire blue which isn't the true sonic blue.

Sonic blue, if done correctly is a deep dark blue, has a purplish tint to it. it is absolutely beatiful. If you shoot me a pm i can send you a few pics of a friends mustang that is in this color with 4% tint all the way around. its amazing
good luck

The Forest Green I had on my 99 Dodge Ram Sport 4x4 was a very nice color.
Looks real good with bright chrome wheels and very nice when clean.

1) The new charcoal vette color or the NSX silver metallic
2) silver pearl
3) Hugger orange with black flake
4) The Laguna seca blue from a new M3

That is some good ideas

for a easyier to do paint job, sticking with red, a 2000 cadilac metallic red, (similar to ford laser red) would be sweet.

If i ever paint my car a different color, i would want to go with the deep red/maroon from the 50th anniversary corvettes, i love that color.

Ryan <-- red Ws6 driver too.
