Paint Ideas for LT1 WS6 I love the LT1 WS6 body style as its rare and very sleek. I currently have a white LT1 WS6 that I'm trying to sell so I can put more time and money into my 1988 Mustang street/strip project but if it doesn't sell it'll stick around as a project car that I'll plan on making a nice street car with a forged LT1, 6-speed, and turbo kit. The LT1 WS6's body lines are much cleaner and sleeker than the LS1 counterparts IMO but it also comes across as kind of boring too IMO and the best way to spice one up is with a nice custom paint job so I'm looking for some input.
Thoughts on a few colors to really make a LT1 WS6 stand out? Right now I'm considering...
-Viper Steel Grey
-Viper Blue Pearlcoat
-Lexus Graphite Grey Metallic
-GM Hugger Orange
-Pontiac Phantom Black Metallic
-Pontiac Brazen Orange Metallic
-Pontiac Barbados Blue
In my mind I think black is just clean, simple, and badass and would make the car look killer with a nice set of wheels (most likely I'll be looking into something like Boyd or Billet Specialties in a 17/18 combo). But I also think a more bright color might really set it off like the Viper Blue or Brazen Orange Metallic (Brazen would be cool too because it would stick with a Pontiac paint code) or Hugger Orange. Then you've got Barbados Blue which is just a flat out amazing color IMO and would look pretty sick on a LT1 WS6 as its a more rare car and a more rare color also. In the end I keep coming back to black and I think Phantom Black Metallic would look nice if you've ever seen it in person but I guess I'm looking for someone to give me a reason to go another color.

I had a 95 TA and the lines are great. Mine was white as well. Black would bring out the clean lines of your car and not be overpowering in the process. If I were to amp it up a bit I would go with a House of Kolor paint. Buy or find someone with a HOK chip chart and pick out a color. Sherwin Williams has just come out with some new material process that I believe they call mirror colors so I would look into them as well. They supplied the paint to GM for their concept cars and trucks. They just went public with this new material/paint in 07' I believe.
