Flat black has to be the worst color choice possible, unless it's his goal to make it look like a piece of crap. My vote would be for Kandy Copper, or Hellfire red. Other good choices, Corvette Jet Stream Blue or Camaro Cyber Grey Metallic.

I'm a big fan of that blue posted, and I also like DSG even if it is a Ford color.

Don't do flat. It looks unfinished and shitty. Granted, that's MY opinion. If you feel inclined to go with a less sheen look, go matte/satin.

Just my 2 cents, but I think flat black would be a mistake. Flat black looks cool on hoods & rat rods only.

Once and once only I saw a beautiful deep red on I think a trans am. Don't know where I saw the pictures but some of them were taken in a parking garage. It almost looked black except where the lights hit the curves and then you could see the red jumping out. It seems like it was a secret color combo and the guy called it dragon blood or demon's blood. Something like that. My guess was that it had some gold flake in it too. If you know what I'm talking about please post pics or even if you have something close.

The blue in 06 was called Superior Blue which I is lighter compared to the 07/08 Imperial Blue which is closer to a Navy Blue.

I think it was the Imperial blue then. It was darker.
