ABM is an awesome color, I'm just not too sure whether it's a color that would wear off over time on a Trans Am. Someone posted some pics of ABM on a WS6 a few months back. If you have the opportunity to go with a custom color and to have it done right then I would say go with the custom color over the stock Pewter. But with your car being Pewter I'd imagine you would have to paint the engine bay either black or ABM as well to make it look right since the engine bay is stock Pewter. Whichever color you decide on you can't go wrong because even the stock Pewter is a nice color for the Trans Am's.

I like pewter, but if I were to have the car sprayed, I'd have them go a hint darker with the pewter and add a little pearl to it as well. That's always been a thought of mine. That way, you wouldn't notice much difference in the engine bay or undercarriage, but it would just look a little different that all the other badass pewter f-bodies.

I guess you would call it Dark Pewter Metallic instead of Light Pewter Metallic.
