Question What do you guy's think????

Ok here it guy's I want to paint my 2000 WS6... It is already black and it need's to be painted... It has to many scratch's from my little girl go by in her little bike and of course other stupid crap like a danm lady pulling out and hitting my left side bumper. I am getting tired of black because it is so damn hard to keep clean so I am thinking of going with the new ZR1 Cyber Grey,Blade silver or Viper Steel Grey.. But now I have thought about
[/

Just loving how it look's with balck wheel's I want to do a sick new paint job for my car because I am having a 438 built and I want the car painted before I take it to have the motor put in... I will be getting new black wheel's for my car too and whatever darg wheel's I get will be black also. So what dod you guy's think about the flat balck or satin??????? Also if I do decide to do the flat black or satin how much does the paint cost compared to the other color's I picked????



EDIT::: Added a new link to a sick looking Vette.Let me know what you think

To be honest with you I like how the flat black looks. If its done tight like that little horsie it will be sick. That new zr1 color is cool too. How about Kandy Hellfire Red? I don't know much about car paint but I can help you with some Valspar.

Flat black looks nice if it is well-done, but its tough to get it to look good. Will you be painting it yourself?

Oh yeah if you do decide on flat black please make sure your wheels are flat too so they won't stick out to much. It just makes the car look better overall

Well at the time that was what I was thinking but the words "powder coated" wouldn't come out.

Yeah I have not seen anybody with the color... That is why I was thinking about doing it because it is something different.

And ditto on the search, I was trying to find people that have done it themselves but I can only find pictures of ferraris and porsches and crap, or a link to the gm hightech car.

flat black seems like a great idea...but seeing a flat black 4th gen beforehand will make the final decision for me
