Default Need paint opinions....

The car is going to the body shop next month. I am debating painting it another color but dont know what color I would want to do. The car is a black '94 Z28 & will have an OEM SS hood and LS1 SS spoiler, silver ZR1 wheels for now (11's in the rear, considering powdercoating them black), the front and rear bumper covers will be repainted, the engine bay completely redone, fender wells and under car will also be done. Should I leave the car black or go with another color?

I have been thinking about some sort of silver, Le Mans Blue Metallic, SOM, or Navy Blue Metallic.

Let me know what you guys think.

Well dude, you've already rolled with regular black long enough. Lets go with either Black Saphire metallic or even the NBM because those colors would look awesome on an LT1 body style camaro.
