Viper Steel Grey is the best color I've ever seen a f-body painted

i personally am going with a pure white with the purest pearl that i can find. when i get to that point. it has a black top so it should look killer. never seen one in a pretty white but the viper steel grey is killer as well as atomic orange

I 'd say choose a color from a completely different brand's color choice.
You don't have to go completely off the grid to get a unique paint job.
A plain ol' color but in a different shade makes all the difference.

If I were to do white, I 'd go with the pearl based off white thats on g37s.
If I wanted to keep my car red , I 'd go for a bmw red rather than the tomato red fbodies came with.

snakeskin green would be great on a '93-'97, but I don't know the year of your car
