Default What color should I paint my 96 TRANS AM

Its red right now and I fu(*in love it , but then again I was thinking SunSet Orange or a candy apple red. If you have a idea of a color please post a pic so I can see it.

Som would look good, but watch out for candy paints because I've seen several candy jobs fade out because they've seen alot of sunlight

^looks like HOK tangelo.

any color can look good. its just gotta come down to what you like best. look through the custom paint thread. and you budget matters a lot. candy colors are like double the price of other colors.

A candy apple red would look good but its too much for me to pay. I would go with the orange if on a low budget but would definetly pick out the candy if I had the money.

do a search here for "atomic orange" its one of the best sunset orange colors and is pretty reasonable to buy its the color on the z06 vettes. and it is available in a single stage so it can be really cheap. in one of those threads youll find pics of the z24 and sled i painted in that color.

Flat Black = P.O.S. Keep your car looking good & go with SOM. SOM might be a factory color but it's rare enough to be different & the appearance mod options to go with the color are endless.
