Default Time to paint the car!

I am ready to paint my 01 SS but am undecided on what color so I would like some ideas or suggestions. Please post some pics and opinions, of course I live in Texas so Black or Red are not an option for me. Black is to hot and Red is too much attention with the law enforcement. Thanks guys I was leaning towards Sebring Silver with a darker silver ghost stripe so please post some pics if you have this color combo too. I am seriously open to all suggestions.

If you're changing colors then why stick with stock 4th gen colors? Get something unique. I think the a color like the Caddy thunder gray chromaflair or the G8 stryker blue to name a couple would look great on a 4th gen.

Stryker blue would be awesome looking on an SS with silver or white stripes
