You guys need to stop reading my mind. Seriously...it's creepy. :_paranoid

I'm not feeling it either. It just seems to exotic and european for muscle.

You need to put some sort of stripe on it. Maybe a gunmetal color or even the same color but flat?

I'm not sure at this point. The color flops quiet a bit and hockey stripes along that bodyline might make things too busy. At least that's what Jon says to be aware of. Anytime Jon speaks it's E.F. Hutton time with me. :)

I'm sure Jon will do a sprayout on a test panel with some stripe options. As you rightly point out, gunmetal might be a good option. :thumbsup: The tailpanel's going to be painted "black" if there is no stripe. It would be painted gunmetal if that ends up stripe color.

Whatever color you choose - just be sure to do it all flat because Jon LOVES flat finish paint jobs LOL!

If you like that color you should look at Atomic orange on 2008+ vettes. Its almost identical. Has the same gold pearl in it.

Thanks for the input John. I've never seen Madagascar in person. Just thought it looked very nice from net pictures. PPG is not forking over the formulation just yet and my car will be shot week after next. Oh well.

I've seen Atomic Orange in person but I like Bad Penny's Prowler Orange better. What do think of AO compared to Prowler?

However, I think I may be able to score on Valencia Orange seen on 2011 BMW I series. :woot: It's a BASF paint. The pictures don't do it justice.

Here's some pics:

Heres my old C6 in Atomic orange. You can see its almost the same as the aston color. Prowler orange is actually more of a copper orange. Check out Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic also on 2006 corvettes if you like the cooper hued oranges. I like them both.
