Default Vote on color

Ok going to have the whole car painted. I like a few different colors and maybe not but it's interesting to see what people vote on or say.

It was a tough choice between #1 and #2 for sure. I think #2 would look the best w/ your wheel choice you currently have on the car.

To be honest, the pictures don't do the colors justice. The pictures are pretty bad. When you look at a nice paint job on a nice car, you can't take a simple photo and be content with the color, knowing what it looks like in person.

The blue looks the best of all the attachments, but that's not saying much. The majority is picking that color, and I think its because that picture looks the best..........and isn't necessarily the "best" color.

Just my fucked up opinion.

Thats the hard part. Picking a color without actually seeing on the car. Personaly I like the Ferarri. I've seen a few pics of it but I like the brand new rosso monza better they just came out with for the 2007 press cars but its not available. I've had a black car for 6 years now and before that it was a green Tahoe. That is a very blue in pic 5 and was my first choice but I've seen a few blue camaro's now and dont get me wrong they look great but I'm looking for something different I guess. I'd even go atomic orange pearl but its not original anymore. Thats why I like the red fiorano.

I've never owned a red car I've always owned darker toned paint. Not sure what I'm going to do yet. I like the idea of the red I can then accent the hood scoop with black later. Maybe a fine black flake. who klnows but there are possibilities where I think the black limits you to silver or white for accent. I dont really like dark on dark for accent.
Keep it coming no one is wrong here

Well that's a good reason to get a red car. I do like the red ferrari's that I've seen. The red seems so deep. You know what I mean?

You could do some cool inlay too. I'm not saying you should do this, but I've seen some ghost flames so subtle that you have to squat down next to the car to see the detail in them. Yet they aren't so subtle that you can't see them while standing next to the car. From far away you can't tell at all, next to the car at a stop light or stop sign you can see them decent. But the true testament is when you get right next to them ghosts. Nicest paint job I've ever seen in person!!!

I'm thinking of going with something like #1, only it might be the new Vette met red. With some custom artwork on the hood & fenders. Oh yeah, that money thing....sigh

I like the ghost flames but thats money. One other thing is a kameleon pearls or translucent color shift flake on a black base. The color combo would be fine copper red to green for the pearl or blue green translucent. Both arent cheap but would be semi spectacular. There is also a kandy apple red over a black base that would look like a fairly dark deep red. I cant seem to find decent paint chip pic's online though.

here is another shot of number 1
I wish I could see it on a Camaro first though. There is a reason I've always owned dark cars. That would suck to get it home and decide I dont like the color

I've seen them do that deep candy apple red color on some biker buildoff show I watched. That is truely a beautiful color.

I've seen some cool translucent paint schemes at car shows and what not. They are pretty nice too.

But I'm thinking that Ferarri Red is still a cool color and not to many on F-bodies.
