Default Hood flew up, need opinion on new color.

Ok I took the car out today, got no more than 200 feet from the house and the hood flew up . (my fault for not closing it all the way ) It broke the back corners of the hood and cracked the center of the ram air. And broke my wiper arm on the drivers side

So with the current color of the car being a custom Viper blue/burple mix it can not be duplicated again. Therefore the whole car must be repainted. Here are my choices in oder I like
this is metal lust with a red candy shot over it, I will be using HOK true blue or Colbalt blue. This is just to get an idea of the shine and reflective quality.


Second choice is the modified 2006 Viper blue from my 97 GTS blue, it contains more pearls for a brighter reflection.


Finally many peoples favorites the electron blue from the ZO6


I'm looking to stay pretty much the same design just a color swap, and tweak a little here and there that I should have done the first time.

Thanks for your help
