Factory Paint colors I will be painting my car 3 tone I want to use all GM colors to be Ashen gray metallic(2012) with Sunset Orange metallic and Aqua blue metallic (2010)
My paint scheme is to be as follows:
Ashen gray metallic body
Aqua blue metallic racing stripes
Sunset orange metallic pinstripe for racing stripes
Sunset orange metallic mirrors
Aqua blue metallic bowtie on the back of each mirror
Aqua blue metallic brake calipers
Sunset Orange metallic wheels
Ashen gray metallic side of spoke
body mods include SS or Ultra Z hood, SS wing and possible widebody not sure set, though I think it would help tuck away 19X12 CF5s
Black halo projectors (8000K)
smoked LED tail lights,smoked LED 3rd brake light
blacked out turn signals
Orange Oracle Halos for fogs
RS body kit minus 3 piece spoiler
6LE dual exit exhaust valance
Fiberglass targa top conversion
5% rear tint, 25%side tint

Im not going to say not to do anything to your car, it's your car. I would suggest not going crazy on the mirrors. Just do them in the grey. Are you painting it yourself, if not be prepared, according to the shop you get it done in it could be anywhere from 7g to 12g to have all that done.

The grey is cool.
Blue stripes might not look half bad. Good complementing colors
Maybe even the orange pin stripes might be cool, not sure.
Just don't **** up the mirrors....paint them grey.
Same with the wheels. Did you really think orange wheels would look good with blue stripes on the car? No
If anything on the wheels, grey with blue pin striping around the lips....maybe orange instead.

x2. OP, better color choice you're going with but do the stripes up to the bottom of your spoiler. But it's really your choice.
