Default Complete Color Change... Help me out...

Well I have decided that I want to have my entire GTO repainted. Keep in mind it is a race car, so I am looking to do something in the mild to wild area. No flames, two tone, skulls. It will either be one color or one color with some form of strip following the body lines over the hood, roof, trunk.

Anyways I have been looking at colors for over 2 months now and I am still struggling. I guess a big part of my problem is that I DO NOT want anything like any of the stock GTO colors... Brazen Orange, Black, 3 different reds, yellow, impulse blue, purple, cyclone gray, midnight blue... So I am trying to stay away from those colors or atleast make sure that it is not easy to mistake the color I chose for a factory color. I am really considering a Green at this point! But I am open to suggestions.

I appreciate your help...

PS: If the car was faster I would paint it pink just to be that guy. But running 9.0s and hopefully 8.5s is not what I consider fast enough to have a pink car... LOL

I know its a bit of a stretch but how but 69 chrysler sub lime. Its the lime green color that they used in the late 60's and early 70's. You can always have your local paint store make you up a custom color. Heres a pic of something similar.

Phoenix yellow is possibly the ugliest color that has ever came on a car.

Do a bright green.... I think the Sublime would stick out too much on it but I could be wrong....
