Default mulling over new color choice WS6

99 ws6, black. Clear coat is fading on the hood

Always liked the dark blues, thinking long and hard about those but don't have any good examples to go off. If you have some good pictures of blues with the name/code for it that would be awesome
Never even thought about having an orange car, but that atomic orange on the new vettes

Opinions?

Atomic Orange

I think you should do the Atomic Orange! I haven't seen an FBody in that color yet.

I'd say go with a classic Pontiac color - like how the Gen I & II Vipers guys painting their cars Plum Crazy Purple - in your case, I like the early 70's Atoll Blue. Its medium to dark blue in most light but in the direct sun, its got a aqua, almost green, hue

Just remembered if you go to my pics in my profile the top color on the caprice I did for my buddy is magic blue pearl,it pops pretty nice in the sun also,only bad thing is it takes 4-6 coats to cover.

That's part of why it's so appealing to me, not just the atomic orange but orange in general doesn't seem common

Purple is the last color I would go for, other than pink I'll have to look up the atoll thou

Seems a little too purple for my tastes, but it may look alot better in the sun?

The one down side of the orange is it's screaming "Hey cop look at me!" But then again it says "Hey ladies look at me " LOL

I've got plenty of time to decide gotta get new wheels and tires first, figuring out something that will look good with the other colors also

Another question, my sail panels and ttop center are starting to look all faded/splotchy.. Can I just sand, paint and clear these? Or are they some weird material that requires special attention?
