Default What Color Would U Paint?

I have a 99 SS that is black right now and i want to paint and change color. I'm open to all suggestions as long as it is a light color easy to keep clean. I don't want white looking for something a little flashier. Leaning towards silver or pewter right now with a black manta.Thanks guys!!

I think pewter would look pretty good. One of my friends has one, it looks pretty damn good. I think that black manta would make it look even better.

I don't mind it, but the polls say perter is the least favorite color. You could probably get someone to trade you a pewter car plus some cash for your black one. It'd sure save a ton of time and money.

I obviously love Pewter . BUT when it comes to painting a whole car I would go against sticking with a stock color... unless it was a rare stock color (Hugger orange, medium blue metallic, sunset orange).

Why not a stock color? That would make it a lot easier to touch up and repair if it was in a wreck.

I'd go with the old school daytona yellow offered on the 69 camaro's, with black stripes. Or Hugger Orange with white stripes. Classic colors!

the only thing that makes me think you guys are crazy that want to paint your cars when the paint you have is fine, is that a GOOD paint job probably cost almost what these cars a worth now..
