Default why is picking a color so hard?

I'm restoring/building my 95 bird. It's had 3 paint jobs in its life and it needs another one, so I am sanding all the **** paint off and starting over... But I'm stuck on a color.

Jetstream blue

Toyota blue (cant remember the color name but looks like jsbm)

Inferno orange

Synergy green

Crystal red tintcoat

A red bird is a sexy bird, and has a special place in my heart. Go with the red.

Crystal red tintcoat,sonic blue,Jetstream blue or bayside blue metallic will look bad ***.IMO if it had 3 paint jobs i would strip all tht down and start over.my car is the same way.i stripped the quarters panels almost down to factory primer and rest wet sanded with 220.but its your car.

Jet stream blue goes hard on a SS (not my car). Although that Crystal Red Tint coat would probably get my vote on a TA. I'm also trying to get you not to paint yours my color. LOL See sig) No really, my second choice I was going to paint my car was pretty damn close to that sick red. My car was NBM, so blue won out in the end.

I've only seen the crystal red once in person and I don't remember how flashy it was.... I want something bright, flashy and that sparkles. I don't think the blue would be a good choice based on the sole fact I have a patriot blue truck and the wifes car is blue as well can't remember the exact color but its the same color as thegen 5 camaro
