Viper stell gray is kind of a dark color and may show too many flaws that your trying to avoid in the first place. I would say Electron Blue if that doesnt show many dirt spots. You cant lose with sunset orange or red though.

If I were to repaint my car, I would highly consider the color of this car. I wouldn't want the chameleon effect, just the blue.


There are more pics of this car here: http://www.gmhightechperformance.com.../photo_07.html

Medium Blue Metallic which is a factory color.

SOM also looks good.
