Default What do guys think???

Going to paint my 01 camaro in two months, I just dont know what color to lean towards. I really like the orange color but not sure. I want something different but clean, my car is NBM and has the tan interior. I like that combo but my paints is already beat up someone hit my rear bumper to make things worse. I got the SS wing already and going to purchase a 3inch cowl hood. I'm going to take my car apart I'm pulling the whole drivetrain out of the car to paint the engine bay the same color of the paint I'm going with. Also going to paint under the car as well, and door jams and so on. What color would be a good combo with my tan interior??? I'm not looking for a top notch show car just something simple and clean. thanks.....

SOM w/ tan interior is a good combo, also can't go wrong w black/tan. If you like SOM check out the SOM-ish orange that comes on the 2008+ Eclipses. It's like SOM with the volume on high

I'd leave it nbm because a clean nbm car is hard to beat.

^^agreed, my co worker has one with the NBM and its amazing. If you want a change I like the SOM and the reds mentioned above, but I'm personally a black or deep green type of guy. In this situation though I'd stay NBM, it makes the repaint simplier
