SOM is beautiful imo. Think it will "pop" more too than NBM. Both are great colors though (I like all the metallics).

im with him....to an extent...go SOM, but then experiment with it by mixing paints first....try adding more metallic or try throwing some pearl or somethin and see if u can create something that will pop more what have you got to lose....if it costs you a lil money to go test mixin paint for fun, who cares, id rather spend some money mixin paint for a free paint job than mix paint for free and have to pay for the job

also the blue below is beautiful, i forgot the name of it but maybe try addin metallic or pearl to this
