I always thought a ws6 would look good in the bronze met. that you could get on the grand prix in '01. Mostly because it would be different

I tried to order a ws6 in that color but it was a no go so I ended up with pewter.

I don't personaly like the gun metal or flint mica or VSG on the trans ams but i do on the camaro. I am in the same position thinking about colors to paint my trans am that I bought wrecked and repaired. I like som but rather than painting a factory color i have been looking at something similar with the ppg three stage paints I think is called RADIANCE? they have a sunset orange metallic as well a few other shades orange and red and a sick purple, but my point is do something different.

Those radiance colors cost a pretty peny. And a tri stage is a difficult task in itself. I just think of a color that would not be hard to touch up in the future if you get into a little crash or a bumper smasher. That flint mica would look sick knight rider style.
